Habiba

Hi I am habiba , u can call me habob Until now, I am a student. I didn't leave my country, but since I was young, my goal was to travel and learn about cultures and peoples. I think that travel is like life, that it gives wisdom with pleasure. I am here to achieve this dream. I hope to travel the world. So far my hobbies are many because I like to try things I love sports, playing, reading, drawing and walking. I love my university studies (medical student) and I even like to help my dad in repairing the house.

The country was beautiful and all of my tours were fantastic, I had a huge problem with harassment. Men following me down the street, grabbing my arm trying to drag me to a car, and the constant shouts and pointing. And I honestly found the police to be the most unsettling. I stayed by the pyramids and got woke up a couple times in the middle of the night from women screaming. And I'm a chunky girl who isn't used to that kind of attention. I'm not the type to be paranoid, but I was terrified most of the time to even step out on my hotel balcony. I will never go back unless it was with a group. My tour guide brought her fiance on a couple tours to just be present and that helped tremendously.

I spent 2 months travelling around, mostly on my own and I had the time of my life. Harassment is real, I never felt unsafe or in danger, but I was definitely catcalled, got marriage proposals and weird looks. I never covered my hair. Siwa was mesmerizing, camped in the dessert, visited the salt lakes and the oasis. Uber is cheap and safe, everyone recommended careem as well but I had a hard time using it. No issues with Uber whatsoever.

I'd recommend learning some of the essential travel words and phrases in Egyptian Arabic, as this is the Arabic spoken in Egypt. If you're going to be in places that normally host a lot of foreigners, most likely many people will speak English. But I think most people appreciate when someone tries to speak their native language, especially in Egypt. If you can, I'd recommend a trip to the white desert, it's unreal. Also, in Cairo there are 5 million things to do and see. Cairo is a huge city with many neighborhoods so I would plan your sightseeing based on the areas of Cairo. There are lots of cool palaces, lovely mosques and churches, museums, cafes, and more to see in Cairo. I would definitely recommend Uber and I always try to go with drivers who have high ratings and have completed hundreds or thousands of rides. Within Cairo, some areas that are nice and/or have lots of things to see include Zamalek, downtown, Heliopolis, Old Cairo. You could also go to Saqqara. The beaches in Egypt are beautiful, so if you can manage to go to one would be nice. Overall, I highly recommend dressing more conservatively - this doesn't apply to all parts of Egypt, but in certain parts of Cairo you should be covering your legs, shoulders, and bust.

I can definitely recommend Dahab. It’s a very nice Hippie town in south Sinai, I have lived there as a blond female foreigner for 3 years and I loved it. There is loads of different community’s there, diving, hiking, yoga, dancing, remote workers etc. also Luxor and Aswan are must sees as is Cairo. Personally I was disappointed by Alexandria and therefore don’t recommend it as a must see! There is Uber in Cairo but in the other places it’s mostly taxis. Not to expensive as well!

I went back in February and can safely say I fell in love with it. It’s pure magic! I went to Cairo twice during my trip - beginning and end - and the second time in the city something clicked and I fell in love with it. I used Ubers although found it pretty hard to find my Uber driver as communicating with them & tracking them down was tricky. I relied heavily on people’s goodwill around me to help me (& it worked!). I was advised not to take taxis off the street and always Uber - altho not always possible when I couldn’t locate my Uber at times - however, I always felt relatively safe & kept my wits about me. From a language point of view I learnt basic Arabic phrases that went a long way in endearing me to locals and letting them know that I was at least trying to talk their language. The usual greetings/where can I find…/I need help etc. They are all incredibly warm people who are so keen to show you their beautiful country - but beware as many will tell you things that might not necessarily be true just to get you to visit their shop (for example I was told the museum was closed when it wasn’t as he wanted me to check out his crafts). My number one recommendation is to stay on the West Bank of the Nile in Luxor. The east bank is a sea high rise hotels & tourists - the west is like stepping back in time. I flew down from Cairo as was advised that the train wasn’t safe but to be honest if I went again I think I’d get the train during the day and see what it was like. As for food - you must try koshary - the vegetarian Egyptian national dish - at Abou Tarek in Cairo! It’s so good!!! Go to the top floor of the restaurant and they give you a proper show when they bring it out to you by preparing it for you - I loved all the guys there as they were so friendly and became a regular.

Egypt is one of the most amazing place I’ve been! I love the chaos of Cairo- the driving is an experience and I took Uber and felt safe, if you ever feel 100% safe in Cairo traffic. I never did a hostel but a 5* hotel in Egypt can be $100 and I find everywhere you go, people are very curious/open/loving and want you to enjoy your experience (that may sound naive but I truly believe it). I’m a huge history nerd too and loved museums/sites. My advice is to go early to avoid crowds. I love Koshari, which doesn’t have milk or eggs. Very cheap and filling. I’m a vegetarian so I found the food very accommodating.
