I 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.

Recently went to Sharm el sheikh with my 2 friends we are all 23 year old girls, we found it amazing. It is so much safer and more westernised I would say then other cities in that area. You can go clubbing, out to eat, they have many fast food chains and shops you would see in Europe, everyone is very friendly and goes out of their way for you. The only thing I would say is do expect people flirting with you non-stop which can be a little intense at first but if you say stop talking to me or I’m not interested etc they will respect that. U-drive is a great app for cheap taxis but the taxis are unregistered so if you get one be careful and if you feel safe and comfortable with the driver ask for his WhatsApp because then you can use him again and know you will be okay.
Posted: July 23, 2024Sharm was beautiful, nice beach holiday and clear water with small reefs and colourful fish around! Went with friends and enjoyed it so much! 3 ladies walking around their city without any interruptions. Locals polite and super cheap taxies around. Defo recommend doing driving with instructor and take a boat trip! Be aware of food, we have suffered from food poisoning so take medicine with you just in case! For 6 nights, all inclusive and flights £320

I lovely place with a lot of activities. You can go diving, kite surfing, do a lot of yoga and swim in the beautiful sea. The town is very safe and it's easy to connect with a lot of digital nomad. It's not expensive as well.

it's generally safe but you have to keep attention to walk alone in an empty street in the darkness, apart from that everything is okay , also not keeping in mind having modest clothes to avoid any attraction.

It's fine in most places, especially the more luxurious spots, but non-Egyptians should be a bit more cautious because they tend to stand out and be more noticeable. It's not dangerous, just something to be mindful of.
