Tips and tricks
How should I dress in Cairo?
Women must dress chastely and cover their shoulders, forearms, and legs. Avoid wearing short-sleeved clothes or miniskirts, especially in mosques and shrines. Men are allowed to wear shorts but it is not recommended to go sleeveless.
Can I bargain in Cairo?
It is important to bargain at local markets and bazaars in order to get a discount: Egyptians respect those who can stand their ground. But in mosques and shops the prices are usually fixed.
When is it better not to go for a walk?
Schedule your day according to the local rules. On Fridays, the shops and cafes are closed until noon: it’s prayer time.
