Cairo, Group travel
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 💗

It was cool but very family-oriented, so we did local activities like visiting the pyramids, the markets, and trying different restaurants and street food. It was more relaxing than fun, but it was really cool.

I loved egypt , hundreds of things to do and see I stayed for 3 weeks and still didn’t get the chance to see everything i put in my bucket list Tourism is and visiting historical sites is magical really , but your gonna be harassed by the taxis / camel guys / those who try to sell u stuff / those who try to show u stuff , u need to keep saying no and never accept nothing from anyone Other then that its really magical Night life is good but ive seen better honestly, restaurants by the nile are good , food not that much , personally not a fan Ive gone to Cairo / Luxor and sharm every city is so different and has its own vibes I advice everyone to go to Luxor its absolutely magical

It always feels safe. The sellers are always talking much but this will never change. But we need to be passionate because most of them really don't have enough money for their family. The nice thing is you can be sure to have every day sunshine

Cairo 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

I live in New Cairo, and it’s very safe, it’s a nice and quiet area, very convenient for hangouts both at morning and evenings. It is a modern area with a lot of coffee, shops, and shopping spots and restaurants.

Zehra
Luxor
Luxor was one of the most impressive and magical places I've ever visited. It stole my heart, along with all those temples. It was a city where I felt safe, though of course, you have to be careful. But I didn't have any bad experiences; I even wandered the streets alone.

You are unlikely to be mugged, but it's quite likely you will be scammed/ppl will try to take advantage of language barriers and clueless looking gals, I do not recommend trusting taxis on the street, Always use an app, always double check your change.

It's all about the low shady streets but mostly in good areas and over all it's pretty safe In cairo people almost don't sleep and streets are always crowded maybe around 3am people starting to go back home so you can be sure of being safe on the being late point also at worst cause people are so helpful here especially towards foreigners
