What to Pack for Egypt: The Essential Guide

Everything you need to bring for a comfortable, respectful, and stylish Egyptian journey.

Packing for Egypt requires balancing comfort, respect for local culture, and preparation for both hot days and cool evenings. The key is lightweight, breathable layers.

Essential items include: lightweight cotton or linen clothing in light colors, a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses with UV protection, comfortable walking shoes, and a light jacket or shawl for cool evenings and air-conditioned spaces. For visiting mosques and churches, modest clothing that covers shoulders and knees is required.

Don't forget: high-SPF sunscreen, a refillable water bottle, a good camera, and a small daypack for excursions. Leave room in your suitcase for treasures from Khan El Khalili and other bazaars along the way.
