Frequently asked questions

Etiquette & Interactions

Egypt is a blend of modern life and deep-rooted traditions, so dressing modestly is both respectful and practical—especially when visiting mosques, temples, or local neighborhoods. For women, lightweight clothing that covers shoulders and knees is ideal, while men are generally fine in trousers or longer shorts and shirts. In coastal resorts, the dress code is more relaxed, especially at beaches and hotels.

At Osiris Secret Travel, we’re happy to give you personalized tips on what to pack based on your itinerary—so you can stay cool, confident, and culturally in tune.

What are the best ways to visit the Pyramids or other top sites while avoiding large crowds?

Is tipping common in Egypt?
Yes, tipping (known as “baksheesh”) is widely practiced and appreciated in Egypt. While it’s not mandatory, it’s expected for good service, whether in restaurants, hotels, or for guides and drivers. Typically, 10-15% in restaurants is a good guideline, but small tips for porters, housekeepers, and other service providers are also welcomed.

Is it customary to haggle in markets and shops?
Absolutely! Bargaining is a part of the fun when shopping in Egypt, especially in markets like Cairo’s Khan El Khalili or local souks. It’s expected and adds to the experience. Start with a friendly offer, and don’t be afraid to negotiate to get a fair price. Just remember, it’s all in good spirit—so keep the conversation light and respectful.

What are the local customs and etiquette I should know?
Egyptians are known for their warmth and hospitality, but there are a few cultural norms to keep in mind. Always greet with a smile, and be respectful when entering religious sites—women may need to cover their heads in mosques. It’s polite to use your right hand when giving or receiving gifts, and avoid public displays of affection. When dining, try to wait for your host to begin eating before you do. And, of course, tipping goes a long way in showing appreciation for good service!

What are the most convenient methods for getting around in cities like Cairo and Alexandria?

Can I take photos at historical sites in Egypt?
Photography is usually allowed at most outdoor historical sites, but some locations—especially museums and tombs—have specific restrictions. Flash photography is often prohibited to preserve delicate surfaces, and in some places, a small photography fee or permit is required. Always look for posted signs or ask your guide before snapping away. Osiris Secret Travel guides are well-versed in site-specific rules and will help ensure you get the best (and permitted!) shots.

What languages are spoken in Egypt?
Arabic is the official language of Egypt, and you’ll hear Egyptian Arabic spoken widely. That said, English is commonly used in tourist areas, hotels, and shops, especially in cities like Cairo and along the Red Sea coast. Many Egyptians in the tourism sector are multilingual, and at Osiris Secret Travel, our team is fluent in English and happy to assist with any translation needs during your trip.
