When traveling in Egypt alone, women should adhere to Muslim rules of conduct. And even in the resort areas of Egypt, it is better not to appear on the street in revealing outfits.
Egypt is considered to be a country that is unsafe for foreign tourists. Despite this, tourism in Egypt is flourishing and developing. And in order for the rest in the country of pyramids and pharaohs to be safe, vacationers should observe a number of rules of the Muslim society, especially for girls.
How to behave girls in Egypt so that the rest goes without negative consequences
Egypt is a Muslim country, which means that women are treated in a special way in the country. The fair sex here should behave in such a way as to attract a minimum of attention from local men.
It is recommended to leave the hotel only in closed clothes; it is better not to go for a walk or excursion in short skirts and shorts, open tops and similar clothes. Ideally, you should bring a long skirt or dress, long-sleeved sweaters and blouses, and a scarf that can be tied over your head for walks. A girl in closed dresses and a scarf will attract much less attention than in open beachwear.
With regard to visiting the beaches, then here, too, you should follow the same rules. The only exceptions are the beaches belonging to hotels and located in a closed area, where only hotel guests can stay. And on city beaches, women should in no case appear in too open bathing suits, thongs and sunbathe topless.
It is not recommended to visit the city beaches alone, as a single white-skinned girl will be the object of increased attention of Egyptian men. Also, tourists are better off not walking alone to city markets.
Vacationing girls should not meet local men, accept gifts from them, go on walks or excursions with them. And signs of attention and flirting are better to ignore and say that you are married.
Subject to these simple rules, rest in Egypt is quite safe for a single girl. The main thing is to avoid public places as much as possible and try not to leave the hotel territory unnecessarily.
General safety rules
In Egypt, you cannot drink tap water, and it is also better not to use it when brushing your teeth. You can buy bottled water in the resorts at any store or in the hotel bar.
In addition to tap water, unwashed fruits and vegetables pose a health hazard, since the Egyptians do not monitor the sanitary situation when collecting and storing crops. Vegetables and fruits purchased from local markets should be thoroughly washed with bottled water.
