📣 Traveler notes
Egypt possesses profound cultural heritage, featuring world-famous sites such as pyramids, temples, and historical city centers. It is noted for its millennia-spanning history and welcoming people.
- On national holidays, expect closures of banks, shops, and businesses, and potential limitations in public transport service.
- Major national holidays include Egyptian Revolution Day (January 25th), Eastern Orthodox Christmas (January 7th), Sinai Liberation Day (April 25th), and Labour Day (May 1st).
- Respect local customs and culture. Use local greetings (e.g., "peace be upon you"). Dress modestly (covering shoulders and knees), especially at religious sites.
