It’s not too dangerous, just must takecare from robbers also it’s not good if you in dark place alone. Also some buyers or taxi take a lot of money So contact any girl from Egypt before you come Also use car app like Uber, DiDi it’s more safer than normal Taxis

In the daytime usually everything is safe and there is no need for worry. Walking in the street and taking public transpirt are fine but I would suggest you avoid very busy places on the bus or metro or street so you don’t feel violated. And dont go out alone at night if you’re not familiar with anything

It’s very safe especially degla area in maadi as many embassies are there and there are many foreigners living there so it’s quite safe. And there are police officers nearby. So I would recommend you visit or stay there

I loved egypt , hundreds of things to do and see I stayed for 3 weeks and still didn’t get the chance to see everything i put in my bucket list Tourism is and visiting historical sites is magical really , but your gonna be harassed by the taxis / camel guys / those who try to sell u stuff / those who try to show u stuff , u need to keep saying no and never accept nothing from anyone Other then that its really magical Night life is good but ive seen better honestly, restaurants by the nile are good , food not that much , personally not a fan Ive gone to Cairo / Luxor and sharm every city is so different and has its own vibes I advice everyone to go to Luxor its absolutely magical
