Star Line Tours Guide: What to Pack for Your Egypt Adventure

Embarking on an exciting journey to Egypt? As you prepare your wardrobe, keep in mind the two golden rules for travel attire: cool و conservative. Whether you’re exploring ancient temples or cruising the Nile, your clothing choices will ensure comfort and cultural respect. Here’s a guide from Star Line Tours to help you pack wisely.

Dress Code Essentials

Egypt?s climate and cultural norms require thoughtful packing. Temperatures in cities like Aswan can soar to a scorching 50°C during the summer, with little reprieve at night. Light, breathable fabrics like linen, cotton, or athletic wear designed for hot weather are ideal.

However, modesty matters. Aim to cover from your shoulders to below the knee, regardless of gender.

• Women: Opt for clothing that is loose and non-revealing. While expectations for tourists are more relaxed than for locals, modest attire allows for a more immersive experience and avoids unnecessary attention.
• Men: Leave short shorts and tight tank tops at home.

Colors Matter

While white outfits look stunning against Egypt?s golden sands, they?re impractical. Desert dust will quickly transform them into a less-than-charming shade of brown. Stick to neutral or darker tones that hide dirt better.

Evening and Seasonal Considerations

Outside the summer months, Egypt?s evenings?especially in the desert or on a Nile cruise?can be surprisingly chilly. Pack a light fleece or jacket to stay comfortable during cooler nights.

Footwear Tips

Egypt?s historic sites and city streets often feature uneven surfaces. Comfortable, sturdy walking shoes or sandals designed for long treks are a must.

Packing for Mosque Visits

Female travelers visiting mosques should wear clothing that covers from ankle to elbow, and also cover the decolletage and hair. Don?t worry about perfection?a loosely draped scarf or shawl over the hair is sufficient. Outside of mosques, headscarves are not required for tourists.

Swimwear Guidelines

Good news for beach and pool enthusiasts: Standard swimsuits are acceptable at hotels catering to international visitors, which typically do not enforce dress codes for swimming.
