Be Out of Gatherings

Know Little Arabic
You will feel safer if you learn some common Arabic words because you will understand what is going on around you. For instance, you will realize greetings from people; you will perceive the signs in the streets and stations.

Follow Traditions
When you travel to Egypt, try to adhere to Egyptian traditions and customs especially in dressing. Because Egypt is a Muslim Arab country, it is better to dress conservatively. Men can wear pants instead of shorts; women can wear long pants or dresses rather than shorts or mini-skirts and long or half sleeves rather than tank tops. In addition, know that drinking alcohol in public streets is forbidden.
