Since knowing what not to do is just as important as knowing what to do in a particular destination, here is the first thing to avoid when visiting Egypt: disrespecting the country's traditions. Egyptians are known for being very friendly and open to tourists, but they are also extremely conservative and traditional. Tourists should avoid immodest clothing, public displays of affection, and public drinking.
Salting the host's food, photographing public infrastructure without permission, and using drones should all be avoided.

Taxis, trains, and buses are the most often used forms of transportation in Egypt for people traveling between cities. You can reserve a self-drive vehicle through your travel agency as well. Touring cars, sedans, and minibuses are utilized for small-group or individual travel.
