Cairo is a conservative city, and visitors should dress modestly. Women should cover their shoulders and avoid wearing shorts or short skirts. Due to the hot climate, it is also recommended to wear loose-fitting and breathable clothing. However, it is important to dress comfortably and appropriately for the weather. Sandals and hats are also recommended, especially for outdoor visits. When visiting mosques or other religious sites, one should also dress more conservatively and cover arms and legs.
