It's not just women who need to consider how they dress when visiting Egypt; it's also best for men to wear trousers and keep their shoulders covered, keeping in line with how Egyptian men dress. Shorts are only acceptable at beach resorts, but it's surprising how many visitors to Egypt ignore this. When visiting a mosque, both men and women will need to be completely covered, with women also required to wear a headscarf. Remember to remove your shoes before entering. Displays of physical affection should not be made in public. It's common to see Egyptian men greet one another with hugs and kisses, but members of the opposite sex should refrain from any such contact outside the privacy of their hotel room. When visiting bazaars, markets, and shops, you may encounter persistent offers in an attempt to sell you something. The best way to respond is by being polite, and when refusing an offer, do so with your right hand over your heart; this is seen as a sign of humbleness and gratitude in Egypt and an extremely polite way of declining any offer. In Egypt, the left hand is considered unclean as it's used to remove shoes and wipe your bottom after going to the toilet, so to avoid any embarrassment around the dinner table, use your right hand for eating and when presenting gifts or money to anyone.
