I will be traveling to Egypt in November and I want to make a good impression on the people. What suggestions do you have? And what books should I read?

First,
"Tell them that you have come here to see this beautiful historic country" - Praise the Country.
Second ,
Tell them that you liked the people of Egypt (from the moment you landed the Airport). Something which makes them feel happy... - Praise the people.
Third,
Ask for assitance. Like finding a good hotel, where to taste good local food, How to find a Tourist Guide...., where to do shopping, what to buy, what is very special in egypt,
Fourth,
Try learning few good egyptian words. Like "Thank you", "So nice of you", "Your r of great help", "Good Morning", welcome...
Fifth,
Wear a local Dress (egyptian culture)

i would suggest that u should be very polite and thankful for the assistance that someone might give you: people of the middle eastern descent are very polite and they cherish that fact in others. sometimes i see them as diplomats, especially people from Morocco.
i also agree w/ the person who said to praise their country. it's not like u r going to kiss as* but saying nice things never hurts.
i really like egypt. when i was little and stydied World History - Ancient Egyptian History, i was facinated, i still am. i really want to go there myself. but for now, u enjoy it for me.
