Q&A: How should visiting women wear when in Palestine and Egypt?
Question by Eleni: How should visiting women wear when in Palestine and Egypt?
I am going to Greece, Palestine, and Egypt in a couple years with a couple friends in college. I am Greek so we are going to Greece first, but will I offend the people in Palestine and Egypt if I wear regular western close? Should I be more conservative? An hijab perhaps?

I’ve been to all three of these countries, and while the people there are more often than not open to others’ customs (including the way they dress), it would be respectful of you to keep your shoulders and legs covered. I went in June, and a thin blouse and light-weight khakis worked well for me. I was comfortable in the heat, and still respectful of their religious views.
