Culture
Egypt’s culture dates back thousands of years. While some of these ancient traditions remain, modern Egypt is quite different due to immigration from other Arab nations.
Egyptian people are hospitable and very polite.
Egyptians don’t require very much personal space, so they stand close when speaking. They are accustomed to refusing every invitation the first time it was offered, so if your offer is sincere, repeat it a second time. The same goes with invitations from Egyptian people. They will offer something once out of politeness, but you know the offer is genuine if it is repeated.
