Egypt has a lot to offer for tourists from its natural beauty to its man-made structures. In having a tour in Egypt however, one should consider many things when it comes to manners or etiquettes. Many Egyptians are Muslims and they religiously abide in rules and standards of conduct.
The very first thing you will need to know is the dress code in Egypt. Except for the pool areas and beaches, you cannot go out, for girls, exposing your knees and thighs to the public.
Since Egyptians are generally conservative, do not engage in public display of affection such as kissing and embracing. Do not come too close with the members of the opposite sex but don't inch away when they happened to stand close to you.
In Egypt, they don't use their left hands in eating, shaking hands or handing things.
The palm facing the person means warding away evil spirits; therefore it can be very offensive to them.
When invited to their home, bring some sweets for a present. Don't bring wine unless you are sure that somebody in the family drinks. Muslims don't often drink wine or any alcoholic drinks. Remove your shoes before entering a house and don't sit in the chair cross-legged.
Never give your hosts flowers. These gifts are only for weddings, funerals and for sick people. Small gadgets like compasses are really good gifts since Muslims will need them in indicating the direction to Mecca when doing their prayers.
Do not refuse the drinks offered to you although you have no intention in drinking them, that will be very impolite. Also ask for second helpings when eating to compliment the host for the food.
