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 💗
Posted: October 25, 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

Cairo is a wonderful city, full of monuments and places to visit. Luckily I met some locals that took my friend and I to different places and took care of everything. Even if it was a great trip I have to admit that the safety was not the best. Especially as a woman. I felt watched and followed by men. I never went outside alone, and I will not try. Nothing happened to me but I would feel quite unsafe if I were on a solo trip. Also, everyone tries to scam tourists. Although the feeling is...

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!

Human. Real. Seeker. Curious (so much). Salaam!🌠 I just love to meet new people and know more about cultures and languages. I usually go out and find new places (hidden ones, especially) with my amazing family and friends, hehe. So, I can be your local guide, I guess 👀. Moreover, I love to learn about various things, such as arts, design, cooking, psychology, history, and culture. So? Let's discover it!🚶♀️ Kindly check my couchsurinf account for references: https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/aamena-elshamy
