Is Alexandria safe for women?
it's generally safe but you have to keep attention to walk alone in an empty street in the darkness, apart from that everything is okay , also not keeping in mind having modest clothes to avoid any attraction.
Posted: November 19, 2024Alexandria is a lively city. This makes it a bit safe to be in at night as streets will be very busy until 12-1AM. It is after those hours that it starts feeling a bit unsafe for me. Catcalls from men are frequent specially if you have a unique feature that stands out. (For me it was my blonde curly hair). Dressing different will also get you looks, however, physical harassment is not as frequent as verbal harassment, which is still not ideal but easier to ignore.

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.

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.
