I have to say that I only felt safe because I was in a group of 6 ppl in the town. On the seaside with the restaurants it seems very safe but in the town at evening everyone is whistling after or some guys came to close and touched me at my waist or even took pictures of us. I would never go to that place by myself. And it was Ramadam time…

Egypt was one of the countries I wanted to visit the most because of my interest in ancient civilizations. The sea and corals were really amazing, definitely go diving! Also, don't leave without going to Luxor and seeing the Valley of the Kings and the museums. The most beautiful places are in Luxor, not Cairo. As a Turkish, I had no problem eating spicy and salty food, but if your stomach is not used to it, it can be a bit uncomfortable. Finally, it is useful to dress a little more modestly and I do not recommend traveling alone for a woman.
Posted: February 4, 2025Experienced: February, 2024Such a beautiful country! But you have to be careful. Even in a group And not only for girls , be careful. For guys too. The local will try to assult and lure you into buying. Sometimes they get hostile and this creates a bas mood. But just be cautious. Even at the hotel with the staff aswell

I spent four months in Cairo as an exchange student, and I absolutely loved the city! Egypt, often called the cradle of civilization, is filled with incredible history, culture, and breathtaking sights. If you’re passionate about history and culture, Cairo will feel like heaven! I spent almost every weekend traveling around, yet I still couldn’t see everything—it’s a place that keeps surprising you. And if you’re going to Egypt, you should definitely visit Alexandria, Siwa, and Luxor as well. My favorite restaurant in Cairo is definitely Tasha Restaurant in Mounira. You can eat handmade Egyptian food from mr dear friend Amr. I was always eating there, the prices are so cheap and the quality is really good, the most importantly you can have the chance to meet Amr, one of the great people of Cairo. Regarding safety, I’d say the city is generally safe, but for women, I highly recommend going with friends rather than alone. As an alone foreigner lady, you might attract attention, and unfortunately, street harassment can happen. However, with some precautions and a bit of street awareness, you can still have an amazing experience exploring this fascinating city! If anyone has questions about traveling to Egypt, feel free to ask!
Posted: January 30, 2025My trip to Egypt was amazing! I explored the Pyramids of Giza, sailed on the Nile, and enjoyed the beautiful Red Sea beaches. The rich history, delicious food, and warm hospitality made it unforgettable.

Traveling to Egypt is a really different experience, although it is my country, but I discovered that Egypt has many amazing cities. Including Siwa, where you will live truly primitive experiences and a wonderful adventure, and Luxor and Aswan, a mixture of nature, Pharaonic architecture, kind people, and high temperatures. I recommend traveling to them in the winter.. And Sinai, every city in it is amazing between the mountains, the Red Sea, and diving.
Posted: December 27, 2024Egypt 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.

It's a bustling city. Famous places are always crowded, which makes it safe to walk among the crowd if you don't stand out. I feel safe travelling after dark as long as it's not later than 10 PM, the streets start becoming quite after that. The metro network is very convenient and safe to travel with to explore the city :)!
Posted: April 16, 2025Not save to walk around alone in the midnight you'll always find someone trying to harrash you anywhere and they don't care about you so you have to he with someone when you're out and walking around in the night

I am a business consultant, born in China and graduated from university in Hong Kong. Here are 3 fun facts about me: 1. During my university years, I was able to travel to 9 different countries through scholarship applications and cultural exchange programs. 2. During the period since starting my career, I have not had a stable home base, living in many cities across China. I consider this my "YOLO (You Only Live Once) plan" and have been keeping a YOLO diary, documenting my experiences in over 30 different locations in China so far. 3. I hope to live to the age of 103, as I find this world to be endlessly fascinating and would love to experience it across two centuries.
