Cairo was probably the best trip i made until now, had an amazing experience! Everyone is so welcoming and food is great, specially in Alexandria. It’s very cheap, a traditional breakfast for 3 people was 6€ and u can use uber freely since it’s very very cheap 💗
Posted: October 25, 2025Cairo is so full of life and it never sleeps. It's kinda safe but you'll get scammed even if you're a non resident local just like myself 😂 It's not my first time to go, and I went to lots of historical places before (sorry for not attaching the pics of them, I lost them, haha) and it's too magical! It takes you back to the place's era

Cairo is a wonderful city, full of monuments and places to visit. Luckily I met some locals that took my friend and I to different places and took care of everything. Even if it was a great trip I have to admit that the safety was not the best. Especially as a woman. I felt watched and followed by men. I never went outside alone, and I will not try. Nothing happened to me but I would feel quite unsafe if I were on a solo trip. Also, everyone tries to scam tourists. Although the feeling is...

Cairo is surprisingly safe, mainly because it is alive 24/7. Whether it’s 3:00 PM or 3:00 AM, the streets are filled with families and open cafes, creating a natural sense of security. It is very big city where you can find everything.

Cairo is moderately safe, الحمد لله. It is a normal capital city; some areas are crowded and busy, but safety depends on the neighborhood and time of day. Overall, it feels secure and welcoming. city!
Posted: March 1, 2026Cairo 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
