What is the dress code at hotels in Egypt—can guests wear shorts?

From messages by 6 participants in 1 source · Last activity: 36 days ago

TL;DR

Most Egyptian resort hotels do not enforce a formal dress code: guests commonly wear shorts, jeans, and casual clothes. Swimwear may only be restricted in reception areas and other indoor public spaces.

What the community said

Guests can dress casually, with no strict dress code reported. However, a notice at reception asks visitors not to enter the area in swimwear.

Reception: no swimwear

For everyday resort wear, most guests choose denim or fabric shorts, with no reports of staff objecting.

Denim or fabric shorts

There is usually no need to pack many formal dresses or dinner shoes; in practice, guests tend to prioritize comfortable clothes.

Casual dinner clothing

For sandy excursions or outdoor activities, bring simple, easy-to-wash clothes that you do not mind getting dirty rather than buying special gear.

Even when reviews mention a dress code, guests on site are often seen wearing shorts without being asked to change.

Shorts commonly accepted

At Seagate, guests also managed without long trousers, using shorts as normal resort wear.
