Who wore clothes in ancient Egypt?

This answer I have used before.

Men of all social classes wore a wrap-round skirt called a schenti which was tied at the waist using a belt. The length of the schenti varied depending on the fashion of the time and your status. In the Old Kingdom they were short while in the Middle Kingdom they were calf length. Throughout the ages the schenti worn by ordinary men remained short and plain. From about 1550BC (the beginning of the New Kingdom) it was fashionable for upper class men to have the garment pleated.

Egyptian women wore full length tubular dresses with shoulder straps known as a kalasiris. This remained the basic type of garment worn by ordinary women for thousands of years. Like the men the clothing of wealthy women became more elaborate during the New Kingdom. It became fashionable for rich women have their dresses pleated or draped. Rich Egyptian men and women decorated their clothes, wore jewellery and wore elaborate wigs often made from real human hair.

The most common used fabric for clothing was linen, woven from fibres obtained from the flax plant, extensively grown in ancient Egypt. Linen came in several grades from the unbleached schenti or kalasiris worn by a peasant to the almost transparent material draped over the bodies of the wealthy. It was not the only material in use: papyrus was used for aprons and sandals; wool was woven into shawls and other outer garments. Leather was used to make sandals and sometimes a man's schenti. The Romans introduced Chinese silk bought from Byzantium via the Silk Road.

The quality of cloth denoted your position in the pecking order. The higher a person's social rank the better quality cloth he or she wore. Men and women of all ranks went bare-chested, but for an elite Egyptian complete nakedness was not acceptable, only children, slaves and peasants could be seen without clothes.

Such an Egyptian would not raise an eyebrow at the sight of thousands of naked slaves working on the construction of a monument. It was quite likely that these slaves were not provided with clothes.

Children of all classes did not wear clothes until they reached puberty. After then they usually wore the same clothes as adults.

Most Ancient Egyptians went barefoot most of the time but wore sandals for special occasions or if their feet were likely to get hurt. The sandals worn by the poor were made of woven papyrus or palm while those worn by the rich were made of leather.

Dyeing techniques with natural indigenous ingredients had been developed in Egypt but was not well evolved because dyeing linen was difficult. The colours were loaded with symbolism: green symbolized life and youth; yellow was the symbol of gold, the flesh of the immortal gods.

Why was Ancient Egypt a rich country?

The Nile River is what gave ancient Egypt its wealth.

With the river's annual floods, vast floodplains were enriched with rich soil and silt washed down from central Africa.

The result of all this rich agricultural land allowed the Egyptians to grow vast amounts of grains like wheat. The annual harvest became so bountiful that not only did it free up the time of the Egyptians so they could develop their culture, but they also gained tremendous wealth and power by exporting their grain to other countries in the region.

Egypt was known as the breadbasket of the Middle East.

Decide whether Upper Egypt or Lower Egypt is a better place for farming?

Lower Egypt is better because it have a bigger population of farmers. Also because the Nile River is thinner there, so when it over-flows to water the crops, it will not over-water the crops.

Did most Egyptians did not believe in an afterlife and focused only on life here and now?

Quite the opposite. The Egyptians believed very strongly in an afterlife, and they wanted to make sure they prepared for it. They mummified dead bodies, because they believed the person's spirit (their "ka") would thus be preserved and able to enter the afterlife, at which time the person would be brought back to life and reside with the gods. In their tombs, Egyptians also preserved artifacts and objects they believed they would need in the afterlife, and the wealthiest Egyptians preserved items that would please or impress the gods.
