Is Cairo safe for solo female travelers?

Solo travel

Cairo 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

Group travel

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.

Family travel

I came to Cairo with my sister and my grandma. We came with a tour company for a day, and visited the great pyramids of Giza. We visited the mosque of al-Zahir Baybars, and Egyptian Museum, which was my childhood dream, because we could see the real mummies. After that we went to Giza by tour bus. It was really hot but the experience was phenomenal. We had a lunch at the nearby cafe, organised by the tour company. Overall, I’d say Egypt is good for travelling with a group or a family. I would not go there alone, as I would not feel safe enough doing so. I wore long pants and a long-sleeved shirt on my trip for safety and sun protection.

Couple travel

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!

Solo travel

My 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.

It'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 😊

It’s not too dangerous, just must takecare from robbers also it’s not good if you in dark place alone. Also some buyers or taxi take a lot of money So contact any girl from Egypt before you come Also use car app like Uber, DiDi it’s more safer than normal Taxis

I consider it safe in the majority of the places I’ve been to, i live there in nasr city and nothing bad happened to me since, I also work there, i go out at night and come back very late, i rate 8/10 in safety

Cairo is relatively big city & it offers diversity of backgrounds cause it is the center of business in Egypt. People are kind & helpful yet you have to be very cautious while interacting with anyone there. Verify infos through asking trusted people & searching the info through web
