Dress Code: While Cairo is generally more relaxed than religious sites, modest dressing is always recommended, especially when moving through busy city areas. Shoulders and knees should ideally be covered for comfort and respect, particularly if visiting areas outside the main tourist hubs.

Hydration: Tap water is generally not safe for drinking. Bottled water will be provided throughout the day, but remember to drink frequently to stay hydrated.
