Is Cairo Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Cairo

What I love about here is that really it's the safest I see, as long as it's light outside you are good to go wherever, just make sure in public transport you don't get near men try to set near a woman for safety of sexual harassment. I didn't have the experience of robbery or getting attacked or something like that.thank god. Yeah also make sure crossing the streets to take care bec that's something to worry about in Egypt. We don't have a system for streets, so people and cars and motorcycles are a problem sometimes

For anyone coming to Cairo, most people are friendly. However, wear modest clothes when in certain areas like old Egypt or the pyramids. Mostly stay in modern places like Tagamoo’ or Maadi If you need recommendations for safe places around Egypt, hit me up

It's a bustling city. Famous places are always crowded, which makes it safe to walk among the crowd if you don't stand out. I feel safe travelling after dark as long as it's not later than 10 PM, the streets start becoming quite after that. The metro network is very convenient and safe to travel with to explore the city :)!

Not save to walk around alone in the midnight you'll always find someone trying to harrash you anywhere and they don't care about you so you have to he with someone when you're out and walking around in the night

Cairo is generally safe. People are kind, and pose no threat to your safety. What you should watch out for is Bazars, not so popular shops and taxis as they might charge you more as a tourist. Best practice is to order Uber as the price is set fairly and to decline offers from Bazar shops. Shop at big stores and eat at restaurants where the prices are already set and printed. It's also smart to wear modestly in case you plan to walk and shop for a long time on the streets.

Cairo is fairly safe if you are or with locals. Going around busy areas is safer in comparison to quieter areas, so stick to the crowd but watch out for sexual harassment and groping. As a solo female traveller you need to be very alert, particularly if you look foreign or dress different enough to stand out. Make female friends and travel around with them, they know what to do. If you can find a male friend you can trust, that works too.

Been here 12 years and it is far safer than Auckland, New Zealand where I'm from. Very rare for people to be robbed or mugged. It's more traffic safety that's a real concern. Like anywhere use your logic and be mindful.

Cairo is great if you get clicked with locals, we're joking all the time, it'll seem like harassing if you didn't catch up on what they're saying but we're just communicating like fireworks overall it's great for solo travelers who're interested in culture and night life.

most areas are safe, but it's always better to be extra safe than sorry..try not to go out after midnight if ur staying in old cairo for instance..but ive been living here the whole lot of my life and never once was i robbed/mugged and if anyone tries to sexually harass you, believe me u should call him out on his shit, and i promise that people around you are the ones that'll get revenge on him for such an act

Like any other 3rd world country. If you’re a frequent traveler, you’ll know that nowhere is really safe, but it’s not like mafia level unsafe! 😂 just be careful where you end up. All under the traveller’s responsibility, I am not responsible for anything that happens under the traveller’s decisions.

Family travel

I came to Cairo with my sister and my grandma. We came with a tour company for a day, and visited the great pyramids of Giza. We visited the mosque of al-Zahir Baybars, and Egyptian Museum, which was my childhood dream, because we could see the real mummies. After that we went to Giza by tour bus. It was really hot but the experience was phenomenal. We had a lunch at the nearby cafe, organised by the tour company. Overall, I’d say Egypt is good for travelling with a group or a family. I would not go there alone, as I would not feel safe enough doing so. I wore long pants and a long-sleeved shirt on my trip for safety and sun protection.

Couple travel

I spent four months in Cairo as an exchange student, and I absolutely loved the city! Egypt, often called the cradle of civilization, is filled with incredible history, culture, and breathtaking sights. If you’re passionate about history and culture, Cairo will feel like heaven! I spent almost every weekend traveling around, yet I still couldn’t see everything—it’s a place that keeps surprising you. And if you’re going to Egypt, you should definitely visit Alexandria, Siwa, and Luxor as well. My favorite restaurant in Cairo is definitely Tasha Restaurant in Mounira. You can eat handmade Egyptian food from mr dear friend Amr. I was always eating there, the prices are so cheap and the quality is really good, the most importantly you can have the chance to meet Amr, one of the great people of Cairo. Regarding safety, I’d say the city is generally safe, but for women, I highly recommend going with friends rather than alone. As an alone foreigner lady, you might attract attention, and unfortunately, street harassment can happen. However, with some precautions and a bit of street awareness, you can still have an amazing experience exploring this fascinating city!
