I live and work here, personally I really love this place, I feel at home here, though the men are as they are, you definitely have to be careful, but I never once felt threatened or unsafe.

Overall, it’s nice, but I think it should definitely be explored without a tour. I didn’t like the desserts at all, but I really liked the food. If you like spices, you’ll enjoy it. I LOST MY WALLET. The hotel was very beautiful. The people were good about fifty-fifty. The good ones are very warm and friendly people. DEFINITELY BARGAIN LIKE CRAZY THEY MARK PRICES UP BY 500%. The sea is very beautiful, you should definitely go diving.

I went solo with a travel agency so I can share my experience through that prism. I felt very safe (always with the tour agency except when I was in Hurgheda and I felt safe there, even by myself). I decided to travel this way (which is exceptionally rare for me) because I heard and read a lot about the hassle, the harassment and the chaos in Egypt for a tourist and wanted to enjoy the experience without the downside. Of course that means that I didn't experience it the way I do with other countries, didn't walk much and didn't talk much to locals - which is not great. The sightseeing is...

Cairo felt very unsafe, the men’s stares and catcalling made us very uncomfortable even though we were traveling with men. I was almost followed by two men (who propably did not know each other) when i stepped outside of a restaurant for a minute alone
Posted: February 16, 2026It’s very safe, just avoid crowded places alone But touristic places are very safe and most of government like hurghada gouna sharm dahab etc is very recommended and very very good for solo travelers
Posted: February 10, 2026Cairo is the city that never sleeps. People are still on the street walking eating and socialising at 12 am. Thus it is safe. It's the people who keep the streets safe. Just do not go to isolated areas.
