What shoes should I bring on my trip to Egypt?

Ok here's what I wore. It depends on the time of year. But I just came back and wore comfortable shoe boots. My last trip I only brought flip flops and that's all I wore.
That is because if you are in villages where the animals go to the bathroom all over the street you want to be able to wash your shoes off. Also you will definitely need flip flops to take a shower in Egypt unless you are in a 5 star hotel. Just make sure you have something comfortable on your feet so you can walk fast and far. P.S. I had flip flops on when I rode the camel. Also remember that when you go in someone's house you will be taking your shoes off and be sure not to point the soles of your feet at anyone. It's offensive.

I was there for 3 weeks this summer. Flip Flops are good for the beach or if you do a Nile Cruise. For any excursions or in the cities good sturdy sandals (w/ a strap) work great. I even climbed Mt. Sinai with them. You don't really need sneakers at all, and to be honest, it's much more comfortable with sandals on because of the heat. But your feet will get dirty.

When you're in the desert, sandals are better than shoes or sneakers because the sand doesn't get trapped inside them. And you can easily wash it off rather than trying to get sand out of the crevaces of sneakers.

Of course, if you do plan on going to nice restaurants or clubs make sure to bring a pair of dress shoes.

Egypt isn't all desert. It has regular streets like everywhere else. You can wear anything starting from flipflops to high heels. Just make sure to wear comfy shoes if u are planning to walk alot.

The streets of Cairo tend to be dirty, so I would bring older, comfortable shoes. Flip-flops are a bit impractical for everyday use. And there's no sand around the center of Cairo, silly! Have a fun trip!

If you are fair skinned, make sure to bring sunscreen. Also ask the American Embassy if they have travel guidelines and tips on what to bring.

I would take flat, flip flop, sneakers and low heals shoes. Egypt will attract you to do lots of walking.

lollypop

well its clear its your first time..but since your a tourist bring comfy shoes,,probably running shoes or tennis shoes..

how ever here in egypt we wear high heels , flip flops, lacy sandals and running shoes...but were used to the dusty street... if you dont mind washing your feet when ever you go back to the hotel then wear flip flops...

soo bring both and youll figure it out

wear flip flops you will end up with black feet! I would recommend tennis shoes for the day. When you go shopping or out for dimmer some nice dress shoes!

Flip flops may be okay for the hotel area but think about insects. I would be thinking about a light hiking boot.
