Alexandria is generally safe, but it's best to avoid staying out late at night, especially during the winter season. Try to stay near the sea area, as it tends to be safer. To ensure your safety, avoid going to random or unfamiliar places in Alexandria.

Given the current advisories from the United States, Canadian, and Australian governments, it is recommended to reconsider your travel plans to Egypt due to potential terrorist threats. If travel to Egypt is necessary, please exercise a high degree of caution due to the unpredictable security situation. U.S.-Egyptian dual citizens should be particularly aware that the U.S embassy's ability to assist in case of arrest or detention is limited. Be sure to stay updated with reliable news resources and remain vigilant at all times. Ensure that your travel insurance is comprehensive and covers such risks.

Went during the overthrow of the Muslim Brotherhood (unsure if it was 12’ or 13’) nonetheless I was not a fan. I am tan Latina and I found myself feeling unwelcomed in many circumstances. I recall my white roommate encouraging me to approach the natives while I was out and about on my own. I did just that and was met with many unkind faces. There were so many instances where the natives were simply awful i.e. unkind. I am not familiar with the climate of today — i.e. whether they continue to be close-minded, ignorant, colorist, and racist as POCs (which baffles me). But I have always empathized to many of my Arabic language exchange partners that I would not return.

The city of Alexandria was a very beautiful city with a lot of fun, excitement, and many special places to visit and enjoy the beach, especially at night. It is a very charming city, as well as the people in it.
