On Dressing,

Egypt, being a predominantly Muslim country, is naturally conservative (not like the Gulf States or Saudi Arabia) but the average people are careful in what they wear. The dress code in Egypt for women is considered conservative by western standards and it is respectful to obey this code.

 

For men it is not really an issue  normal trousers and shirt or T-shirt are fine but in Cairo it would not be acceptable to wear short shorts or a tank tops/sleeveless tops.

 

On Visa

There are 2 types of Egyptian Visa:

Entry Visa: is required for any foreigner arriving in Egypt for purposes other than tourism, e.g. work, study, etc. The possession of a valid entry visa is needed to complete the residence procedure in Egypt.
