Egypt spans Africa and Asia. Islam is the state religion of Egypt.

Egyptians are honest, intelligent, tolerant and hospitable. They often use humor to cope with the harsh real life.

Dinner is enjoyed with my family after sunset, so it is impolite to make an appointment at this time. Egyptian Muslims have an indispensable habit: pray several times a day.

Egyptians usually eat "Su Ye" (flat round Egyptian bread that is not fermented) as the staple food, accompanied by "Fuer" (boiled beans), "Kebunai" (white cheese) and "Moheya" (soup). They like to eat mutton, chicken, duck, eggs, peas, onions, pumpkins, eggplant, carrots, potatoes and so on. In terms of taste, it is generally required to be light, sweet, fragrant and not greasy. Roast whole sheep and roast whole sheep are their delicacies.

They are used to entertaining guests with homemade desserts. If the guest refuses to eat at all, it will disappoint the host and show disrespect to others.

Egyptians avoid talking during formal meals, otherwise it will be regarded as blasphemy against God. Egyptians generally abide by Islamic rules, taboo drinking, like drinking black tea. They have the habit of washing hands, drinking tea and chatting after meals. Avoid eating pig dog meat and talking about pigs and dogs. Do not eat seafood such as shrimp and crab, animal viscera (except liver), eel, turtle and other strange fish.

Men should not take the initiative to talk to women; Don't boast that people are slim; Don't praise the things in the Egyptian family, or you will think you are asking him for them; Don't talk to Egypt about religious disputes, the political situation in the Middle East, and the relationship between men and women.

In Egypt, after 3 pm to 5 pm, people mostly avoid injections. Businessmen never sell needles, and people don't buy needles. Even if someone is willing to pay 10 times the price for needles, the shopkeeper will politely refuse and never sell them.

In Egypt, you must take off your shoes when entering Islamic mosques. Egyptians like green, red and orange, and avoid blue and yellow. They think blue is the devil and yellow is a symbol of misfortune. They all wear yellow clothes to prevent funerals. Avoid pandas, too, because they are similar in size to fat pigs. I like the pyramid lotus pattern. It is forbidden to wear clothes with star patterns. Besides clothes, wrapping paper with star patterns is not popular. Pigs, dogs, cats and bears are not allowed in. 3, 5, 7, and 9 are people's favorite numbers, and 13 is taboo and is considered as a negative number. Grab food with your right hand when eating, not your left hand. Whether giving gifts to others or accepting gifts from others, always use your hand or your right hand, and never use your left hand.

Don't yawn

Usually try not to yawn or sneeze in front of Egyptians. If you really can't control it, you should turn your face, cover your mouth and say "I'm sorry". Egyptians hate yawning and think it is a worship of the devil. A man yawned and said in a hurry like a crime, "Please forgive God."

Sneezing is not necessarily a bad thing. If a person sneezes in front of everyone, he says, "I testify that there is no God except God." The person next to you says, "God loves you". He went on to say, "God is angry with me and everyone".
