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
Posted: August 15, 2025It 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
Posted: August 1, 2025Experienced: February, 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

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.
Posted: October 25, 2025It's a lovely city by sea it's very safe and magical it will steel your heart for sure u can visit different places and enjoy the sea view and try the local food don't forget to try the alexandrian liver 😉
Posted: September 16, 2025It'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

Cairo is a very busy city . As long as you are walking in the light of the day & your clothes don’t expose too much ( casual wears , trousers better than short skirts and crop tops for example ) , you are safe . Avoid dark alleyways , where potential predators feel safe to try to rob and attack , this is rare but better be cautious than sorry . Your money , phone , keys have to be tucked well , if you are walking downtown to restrict attempts from pickpockets ( again not so common ) . As a whole it is a safe city , specially in upscale areas , malls , supermarkets etc . Other than that as long as you follow some guidelines , you will enjoy strolling all over even at late night ! Happy travels 😊
Posted: August 28, 2025Mot very safe u have to be careful about yourself , bags specifically when u walk alone by sea . Also girls are very friendly and talkative u can ask for help from girls . Grab ur bags carefully don’t walk with too much money or gold
