1. After sunset every day, Egyptian family members are not allowed to go out and must have dinner with their families at home. If you don’t have dinner with your family after sunset, it is definitely impolite.
2. If you want to go to an Egyptian’s house as a guest, you must be able to withstand the host’s enthusiasm. Egyptians are particularly hospitable. They like to treat foreign guests with their own desserts. It is important to remember that as a guest, you must eat their food, even if it is not what you like. If you don’t eat it, the host will think that you are not well entertained. So in order to make the host happy and satisfied, you must eat something as a guest.
3. It should be known that the Egyptians believed in gods very much, including animal gods, pregnant human gods or former kings, and the pyramids are still well preserved in part because of the Egyptians’ belief and eternal concept of ancient kings. Therefore, one thing Egyptians can’t talk to each other during formal meals, otherwise they will think that this is disrespecting their gods, which is blasphemy against their gods.
4. Sometimes it is really one culture of water and soil, and the customs of people in two different regions are very different. Now, for example, many of us in China like to drink alcohol, and our favorite meats are pork, dog meat, shrimp, and crab. However, Egypt is very different from us. They avoid drinking alcohol and choose to drink black tea. At the same time, they do not eat pork, dog meat, shrimp and crab. The important point is that they are not allowed to talk about pigs and dogs.
5. In fact, in many regions, many men will take the initiative to chat with women, but this is not allowed in Egypt. Also, I believe that many girls are particularly fond of being praised by others for being slim, but such praise is absolutely not allowed in Egypt.
6. Needles, this is just a very common item in everyone’s eyes. However, in Egypt, after three or five o’clock, people will never buy needles. Even if someone pays many times more than themselves, the shopkeeper will not be moved and will never sell them.
7. Blue, in our opinion, is fresh and elegant; yellow, in our opinion, is youthful and energetic, and yellow was a symbol of imperial power in ancient times. However, Egypt is different from us. Blue is a demon in their eyes, and yellow is a symbol of misfortune. At funerals, they will wear yellow clothes.
8. Try not to mention or use the number 13 in front of Egyptians, who think 13 is negative.
9. When eating in Egypt, you must not use your left hand to grab food, you must use your right hand, because in the eyes of Egyptians, grabbing food with your left hand is considered unhygienic. It seems that people who are naturally used to using their left hand should pay attention to this problem.
10. Finally, when receiving gifts from others or giving gifts to others, you must not use your left hand alone. At this time, you must use your right hand or both hands, otherwise it will be considered impolite.
