Can I kiss my wife in Egypt?

Published in Egyptian Culture 1 min read

Whether you can kiss your wife in Egypt depends on the location.

  • In Public: According to the reference, showing affection in public, such as kissing or embracing someone of the opposite sex, is generally not advisable. This is due to cultural norms that differ from Western practices. While you might see Egyptian couples holding hands in cities, they are likely married, engaged, or courting.

  • In Private: The provided context primarily addresses public displays of affection. Therefore, in private settings, such as within your hotel room or private residence, such displays of affection would be acceptable.

In short, avoid public displays of affection to respect local customs.
