Hi ladies!
It's still Free for All, y/fy?
Hubs and I have finally made our travel plans for the year. And it looks like we're going a few places I've not been before.
One of the destinations is Egypt, specifically Port Said (for Cairo) and Alexandria.
My guess is that we'll mostly be visiting the pyramids and whatnot like the tourists that we are, but there's a chance/more than slight possibility that we'll take some time to see a few of the local sites, namely the Coptic churches and mosques.
I'm well aware of Coptic tradiations and whatnot (I was a practicing Orthodox for a while), but I'm less sure about visiting the mosques.
Any of you who have been to Egypt, are from there or from another similar country, or who just know about customs, can you help me out?
- I know that in general, I should wear conservative clothing - long sleeves, pants, no cleavage, etc.
- Should I bring a scarf for my head for entering the mosque? Would it be prudent to wear a scarf in general, as in everywhere I go?
- What's the general protocol for a female entering a mosque? Is it okay to enter with my spouse? Or are there separate places?
- Other travel advice?
Thanks!!! <3
For your time... here's a pretty... (yes, I still love the old pics best)
