Is Giza safe for solo female travelers?

Giza is a fascinating destination with its remarkable pyramids and ancient history. However, as a solo female traveler, you should be prepared for frequent attention, mostly in the form of sales tactics or harmless compliments, yet they could be overwhelming at times. It is very important to dress conservatively respecting the local customs. Always choose reliable and safe transportation, preferably arranged by your hotel. Be wary of scams around tourist points. Though petty crimes are not habitual, it may occur. A guided tour might be a safer option if you are visiting for the first time.

It's safe enough, Giza is part of Egypt's Capital. I feel safe enough to go out on my own, however just like most girls in every country I still don't feel a 100% safe all of the time, but that's not about Egypt specifically it's a worldwide struggle

Giza is one of the most down to earth places you can go, people can be very helpful and friendly.But as a solo female traveller they can also be overly curious.Men especially will probably scan you constantly, Catcalling is likely to happen in egypt, and harassment does happen but mostly only on public transportation, which is not recommended.It is best not to go everywhere alone. But if you have no one to accompany you, go to more modern or touristic places like; zamalek,maadi, sheikh zayed. Or visit wherever you like but the earlier you yo the better.
