When it comes to the mode of dressing , Egyptians are fairly conservative . However , unlike in other Islamic countries , in
Egypt
you may find people dressed in various styles: You can see men dressed in Western-styled suits , jeans , and Egyptian-styled garment . On the other hand , women can be seen putting on Islamic headscarves covering their hair while others wear face-covering veil . In big Egyptian cities , however , women are considered to be more liberal that you can see them dressed in jeans wear without any scarves .
It is recommended that you wear comfortable clothing and footwear . Likewise , it is recommended to put on jackets or pullovers during winter nights . As for tourist women , changing the mode of dressing is unnecessary except at entering mosques where it is a must to wear headscarves and other scarves that would cover their shoulders . It is necessary that one takes off their shoes at entering a mosque , therefore , you may want to put on socks under shoes or go barefoot .
