Hurghada has a very beautiful sea. However, caution should be exercised when using taxis and public transportation, especially for women. Also, prices should be clear and consistent, as they often add extra charges.

I was in Cairo as an au pair. It was very interesting, but it was also very crowded, dirty, and full of people. The food is tasty. You can do many things in Cairo and everything is very cheap. I definitely want to come back and visit all of Egypt one day😊
Posted: March 2, 2026Experienced: October, 2025It was absolutely well organised, safe for tourists, don’t go wondering alone. Be respectful with staff and all the hotel workers since they get payed 2$ max per day. I was overwhelmed with the luck i have in my country and all the dirt and poorness that looked my way in the city. People work hard to get treated shitty by tourists. Be nice, u don’t know their life.

I wouldn’t recommend women coming to Cairo by themselves unless they have local friends they’re going around with or large groups. Some places in New Cairo are considered safe. The area i live in is a gated community so it’s pretty safe. I go to the gym pretty late and walk home around 1am and nobody every bothers me. I do recommend looking and acting more intimidating if you’re by yourself.
Posted: March 11, 2026Cairo 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!
