Western gauges view the Egyptian women's clothing standard as traditionalist and are aware of this standard. For males, it's generally fine to wear regular clothing such as pants and shirts or T-shirts; however in Cairo, it is not satisfactory for short short dresses/troop-top sleeveless tops.

National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NMEC) is found in Fustat, the primary Cairo after the Arab Islamic conquest, so it had been a logical choice for the museum site, because the area is found at the crossroads of Egyptian history, and it includes many Coptic churches and monasteries, the Coptic Museum, the Ibn Ezra Temple, and therefore the first mosque in Egypt, the Amr Ibn Al-Aas Mosque. Views of the Citadel of Saladin are also available from the museum's outdoor areas, which emphasize their unique location overlooking Lake Ain El-Sira, Cairo's last natural lake.
