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 safety is not the best. Egyptians are still really nice and some are really helpful.

Cairo is the city that never sleeps. People are still on the street walking eating and socialising at 12 am. Thus it is safe. It's the people who keep the streets safe. Just do not go to isolated areas.

I live in New Cairo, and it’s very safe, it’s a nice and quiet area, very convenient for hangouts both at morning and evenings. It is a modern area with a lot of coffee, shops, and shopping spots and restaurants.
Posted: December 12, 2025You 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.

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
