Tips for dressing appropriately on a Nile cruise

When considering what to wear on a Nile cruise, remember to dress not just for the heat but also for the Egyptian culture. To respect local norms, avoid wearing very short skirts, hot shorts, or see-through apparel. When attending a mosque, you must cover both your legs and upper arms.

Dress in light, loose clothing covering your shoulders, chest, stomach, back, and thighs to remain cool while shielding you from the sun. You can wear a thin scarf or pashmina that can be wrapped over your shoulders and protect you from the heat and the lower evening temperatures. You’ll be walking a lot on rough stone flooring and sandy terrain, so wear appropriate walking shoes. It’s always a good idea to carry sandals with you because closed shoes might get too hot, but on the cruise, you can dress as you would in any foreign hotel or resort, including your swimming suit in the pool area.

You can visit our website and choose your preferred Nile River Cruise Package to ensure that you have a memorable vacation experience.
