USA to Maadi - advice needed on clothing

we have very mild winter's here compared to the us and where you are coming from. think more along the lines of wonderful springtime weather.

You should not need the "winter coats" for life in Maadi, a decent heavy sweater or hoodie will probably due just fine.

young children can wear almost anything and even bare skin for a young female child is not unusual to see and wont create a problem. but you should try to dress them in a conservative fashion due to respect for the local culture.

you should pack both jeans and shorts for daily and home use if that's what your are comfortable with.I live in jeans,  shorts while at home almost year round.i have acclimated to the local climate after all my years here.

what ever you pack you should remove all the clothing and similar items from its original packaging along with the store tags and prices.

will you have use of the apo or other duty free goods shipments to egypt related to your work.



I always brought extra shoe pairs, of my favorites and sneakers they are expensive here and not comfortable.

What dose acceptable mean??If you mean culture, In Maadi the community is different than the local Egyptian community, as most exapts lives their but not in all of Maadi, places like (Degla area) at old Maadi where most of the diplomats and foreign stuff of big corporate lives.
If you mean whether, it was 37 C yesterday, cold nights are not that much unless you are living in a new city where you feel the desert coldness, but it never snows in Cairo.

thanks - will buy extra sneakers - that was on my radar - also thanks for your advice re tags.  Not sure about the apo stuff - have read that we have something but need to check it.
