Egypt is very beautiful, the monuments are also wonderful, but it is unusual for me to have people with automatic weapons, women covered in veils, and it is sometimes unpleasant. It is more of a vacation to lie in a hotel and not to travel.
Posted: December 23, 2024Experienced: June, 2023Loved the people—so kind—and the culture. The prices are a little touristy. I tried diving in the sea; it was an amazing experience. However, the changing area was not clean enough. You can wear what you want and enjoy the restaurants and cafes by the sea.
Posted: December 22, 2024I did feel very safe in the hub locals are friendly and willing to help. I really recommend doing yoga at the beach. Also renting a bike and going to the near beaches having fun. There is a lot of cheap Airbnb's and it's really nice.
Posted: December 7, 2024Experienced: December, 2024I didn’t feel safe. fun, authentic trip but it was too hot and the food was not my style. as a woman I never felt comfortable. It was still a magical trip (I may not be objective as I am an ancient Egypt fan)

Actually it was really nice there is only one problem that i want to mention is the sellers in Egypt. You have to be careful about the prices because when they aware that you are a tourist they are always say it more expensively.
Posted: November 17, 2024I was with my family. It wasn't so expensive, people are very frendly and kind. It is safe for solo travelers too. You have so much to explore there. Cairo, Hurghada, Red Sea... I would love to travel there again.

I went to Egypt in 2019 and really enjoyed it. We went to a Bedouin camp, which was one of the highlights to see the community and how they live in the desert. We were in an all inclusive hotel which I think is one of the best ways to navigate the country, it was safe and hassle free. Some of the staff at the hotel were forward and pushy with me about ‘meeting them later’. This made me comfortable and I would try my best to avoid them.
Posted: September 28, 2024Mosty I was feeling safe, but sometimes bothered by local mens. Its better to cover your body and west hijab especially in the local aerias. Mosty people are very welcomed, supportive and families very open for their hospitality

The mist wonderful place I've ever been. The pharaonic civilisation is great, the museums, the pyramids 😍, the Nile, and people!!! I've been to Égypte 3 times and expect to go much more times. Hope to go to Japan and Thailand.
Posted: August 24, 2024Yes, absolutely safe throughout all day and night. You can go out anytime with 0 worries anything bad will happen to you. Egyptian restaurants there are for the win. There are a couple of other chinese/russian and italian restaurants but Egyptian ones are by far the best there.

Overall It's safe here in Egypt but also you have to take care from strangers around you , the public transportation is surely safe , also walking alone in the streets is safe but you don't have to trust anyone also

I have lived in Egypt for two years now, and I haven't been robbed, But that is because I live in New Cairo, and it's safer than other places in Egypt . But I don't advise any girl to walk alone in the night it's not very safe. they are harassing girls in the streets all the time by talking , sometimes they can come very close. Stay safe 🙏 🤍
