Q: Will it be really hot then? I'm a bit worried because do wear tops that show cleavage, so if I were to wear tops like that in Cairo, would I get any unwanted attention? What sort of clothing would be best for this time of year? Thanks
A: October in Cairo is till pretty warm...but the nights are just beginning to get chilly...so take light wraps or a light weight sweater. Cleavage WILL get attention. And quite a few propositions. If you do not want every male in Cairo staring down your front, try a little less cleavage during the day. If you are going to be dining in better restaurants then dress as you would at home. It is STILL a rather conservative country. You won't be attacked, but you will NOT get the respect you deserve. Egyptian men seem to think that women who do NOT dress modestly are really asking for trouble.
