What You Need To Know About Egypt

Tour Guide, Cairo, Egypt

1- Egypt has many customs and traditions that should be known, such as wearing clothes that are not short for women, because, in some areas, this angers people in the street, especially if you are coming to Egypt alone.

2- Many Egyptians are friendly and love tourists very much, so do not worry when someone takes souvenir photos with you or invites you to drink mint tea; this means hospitality. 
3- Most restaurants and cafes, as well as archaeological areas, do not accept payment with a visa or any other non-Egyptian currencies, so I was keen to change some currencies to Egyptian.

4- Tipping is a recognized method in Egypt, so divide a part of your trip expenses only with a tip for everyone who helps you.

5- Archaeological sites such as the pyramids of Giza contain a group of people who say they are working to organize entry and have nothing to do with all this. It is just a trick to make you ride a horse or camel and pay at least $ 200.

6- Walking in the streets of Cairo is very safe, and do not be afraid because 95% of the streets have cameras that work with the security apparatus, so you are safe.
7- Enjoy Cairo by night and walk by the Nile River; this feeling is indescribably beautiful.

Experience Egypt in your way, and if you have any questions, I'm ready to answer.
