The traditional way to greet the Pharaoh is. this You would walk into his prescence but bowing forward and then you'd kneel on the floor and lie on the ground (like in a similar to a kowtow) and kiss the ground beneath his feet. In later times important government officals would be permitted to kiss his feet.

when speaking the prostration formula would be appropriate, NEVER address him as King or Pharaoh, a crime worthy of death. Refer to him as 'your majesty', 'son of Ra' etc

. Greetings are based on both class and the religion of the person.
. It is best to follow the lead of the Egyptian you are meeting.
. Handshakes are the customary greeting among individuals of the same sex.
. Handshakes are somewhat limp and prolonged, although they are always given with a hearty smile and direct eye contact.
. Once a relationship has developed, it is common to kiss on one cheek and then the other while shaking hands, men with men and women with women.
. In any greeting between men and women, the woman must extend her hand first. If she does not, a man should bow his head in greeting.
