With Egypt being an Islamic country, modest clothing is recommended while traveling there. Daytimes are typically warm and sunny, so choose breathable fabrics such as cotton and linens.
Women travelers can pack lightweight tops and dresses that cover the shoulders. If you plan on bringing sleeveless tops, pack a cardigan or scarf that can double as a cover-up when needed. Skirts and pants that fall below the knees are best when you are out and about sightseeing. Similar guidelines apply to men. Half-sleeve and full cotton or linen shirts and T-shirts will protect you from the sun and ensure you stay cool. Long shorts, capris, khakis, and comfortable linen pants with drawstrings work great for the weather and sightseeing.
Evenings during winter can get chilly, so if you are traveling during the cooler months, pack a few warm layers, such as sweaters, a light jacket, or a shawl. You can take regular beachwear for the pool area at your resort, but remember to pack a cover-up.
Sightseeing in Egypt involves a lot of walking in sandy, dusty conditions. Closed, good-quality walking shoes are recommended. Protect yourself from the sun’s rays with a pair of glasses, a sun hat, and sunscreen.
