<\/noscript><\/p>\nDreaming of a trip to Egypt to see the Pyramids of Giza and discover all the wonders of Cairo and the surrounding areas? I would highly recommend learning about Egyptian history before going and researching cultural norms before your trip, in fact, here are my tips for traveling in Egypt to help you plan.<\/p>\n
One thing that will definitely stand out to you are the two \u201cCs,\u201d \u2014 you need to dress conservative and cool.<\/em><\/p>\nAnd by cool, I don\u2019t mean rocking the latest pair of sunnies or a hip hat. I mean dress to keep cool as the weather can be sweltering. Light colors and breathable materials are super important.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve rounded up some of my ensembles to inspire your Egypt outfits.<\/strong><\/p>\nHere\u2019s what to wear in Egypt as a female traveler!<\/h4>\n <\/noscript>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n
What to Pack for a Conservative Country<\/h2>\nThe two biggest things to keep in mind while figuring out what to pack for a trip to Egypt are cool and conservative.<\/h4>\n Both of my trips to Egypt were in April, and even then, it was HOT.<\/strong><\/p>\nSummer temperatures in some cities can reach around 122\u00b0F. With that in mind, packing light fabrics like cotton and linen are best. If you\u2019re traveling to Egypt in the cooler months, do keep in mind that it gets quite chilly once the sun goes down.<\/p>\n
As a woman traveling to a conservative country, I find it\u2019s best to respect those cultural norms (remember, you are the visitor!), and to not draw any unwanted attention.<\/p>\n
What does this mean for Egypt?<\/strong><\/p>\nOpt for garments that come below the knee, keep your shoulders covered, and the looser your clothing, the better.<\/h4>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n

Skirts & Breezy Tops<\/h2>\n As with everything else I\u2019ve mentioned, finding cool and breathable fabrics is KEY!<\/strong><\/p>\nWhen it comes to pairing shirts with skirts, find lightweight fabrics like linen or cotton that will let air flow through. The sticky sweat is real here!<\/p>\n

Tips for Staying Cool<\/h3>\n\nFootwear:\u00a0 <\/strong>I tend to overheat when I\u2019m in shoes like sneakers, though some people prefer to wear shoes because it\u2019s uncomfortable for them to spend long days in sandals. That said, if you don\u2019t have much experience in hot weather, plan for both \u2014 as in bringing sandals and other shoes.<\/li>\nCooling Towels:<\/strong> these are an absolute life saver and you don\u2019t need to use cold water! It can be any temperature and it will get cool and provide a lot of relief.<\/li>\nHats:<\/strong> Hats are a saving grace in an area that doesn\u2019t have much shade. Do be mindful that it can get sweaty under your cap, though. If you\u2019re wondering how I pack wide-brim hats without squishing them, snag my favorite hat clip that can attach to luggage or a handbag!<\/li>\nPersonal Fan:<\/strong> Sometimes I feel so silly for carrying this around but when you\u2019re somewhere so hot that you\u2019re about to lose it, you don\u2019t care as long as you can find relief.<\/li>\nSmall Packable Umbrella:<\/strong> Bring your own shade, especially if you\u2019re traveling somewhere very exposed like Egypt, and visiting historical places without shade.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
