Tips and tricks

  • 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.
  • Schedule your day according to the local rules. On Fridays, all local shops and cafes are closed until noon as it’s prayer time.
  • In order to enjoy shopping at the popular Khan el-Khalili bazaar, visit it on weekdays. It’s usually overcrowded on Saturdays and Sundays. Be sure to look into the oldest cafe in Cairo called El Fishawi which has been operating since 1769. Take a break after a long walk, try tasty dishes of local cuisine, and drink Arabic spiced coffee!
  • 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.
  • You can find some sellers too intrusive in Cairo. In these cases, use the Arabic word «la’a» (no) as it is the easiest way to refuse buying the goods. In order not to sound rude, you may say «la’a, shukran» (no, thank you).
