Egypt’s rich history reverberates through its modern-day culture. There’s plenty to engage all your senses, from majestic ancient sights to lively streets rife with aromatic foods, and the vibrant and eclectic nightlife.
To fully indulge in all the excitement, there are some things you should consider, including the country’s cultural traditions. But worry not: all you need to hop on a plane is your passport and sunscreen, plus the right expectations and this nifty list to help you blend in with the locals.
Planning your trip to Egypt

Bags in one hand and paperwork in the other is all you need to get on a plane and fly to Egypt.
