Customs and traditions
Egyptians are known for their great hospitality. It is common to be welcomed with tea or coffee, and it is polite to accept this offer. Egyptians love to chat and share stories, so don't be afraid to strike up a conversation.
Tips: "Baksheesh"! A word you'll soon get to know! While it's easy to say no to solicitors, it's part of the customs and rewards work and service well done. Gratuities for guides are never included. It is left to the discretion of each individual.
In the souks and markets, haggling is common practice. It is part of the experience and can be fun, but it is important to remain respectful and friendly during this interaction.
Egypt is predominantly Muslim. Visitors should respect places of worship, removing their shoes before entering a mosque and avoiding taking photographs where prohibited.
Time difference
The time difference between France and Egypt is generally 1 hour. When France is on winter time (from the end of October to the end of March), Egypt is on GMT+2, which means that there is a 1-hour difference (for example, if it is 12pm in France, it is 1pm in Egypt).
Electricity and internet access
Electricity in Egypt is mainly 220 volts with a frequency of 50 Hz. Type of plugs: The plugs used are generally type C (with two round pins) and type F (with two round pins and clips).
Adapters: If your appliances use type A or B (American) plugs, it is advisable to take an adapter with you.
Internet access in Egypt is generally good, especially in major cities and tourist areas. Here are a few points to consider:
Wi-Fi: Many hotels, restaurants and cafés offer free Wi-Fi. However, quality and speed may vary.
Mobile data: Mobile data packages are accessible and affordable. Major telecommunications companies (such as Vodafone, Orange and Etisalat) offer prepaid SIM cards for visitors.

Packages: Tourist packages are often available, offering data at a competitive price.

Public networks: Take care when using public Wi-Fi networks. Avoid accessing sensitive information, such as bank details.
Security
Security in Egypt is an important issue for travellers. In recent years, Egypt has taken significant steps to improve security, particularly in tourist areas.

However, the quality of service can be more variable than in luxury hotels. Some may have ageing facilities or service standards that are not as high as those of 5-star hotels.
