Solo travel experience

I loved Egypt so much and would love to go back and explore more. My highlight was staying in a Nubian village in Aswan, and then taking a 4-day Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor. The tour had many temple stops, my favs were Philae temple, Abu Simbel, and Kom Ombo. I also did a hot air balloon. I stayed at an all-inclusive resort and felt safe.

Solo travel experience

I was there on my own and I booked a tour guide. I was OK but definitely will not recommend going solo. If you do, make sure you dress up conservatively or you risk getting stared at/harrassed. Do not smile and look men in the eye as they tend to misinterpret that. I used to walk briskly and smile but not to anyone in particular. The Pyramids experience was truly amazing (I didn't bother going inside), and Luxor (Karnak temple complex) was just mind-blowing. A highly memorable trip.

Solo travel experience

I went solo but I did hire private drivers and guides. I researched them on TripAdvisor. In Cairo, I did take an Uber on my own to go to a specific store I wanted to visit and I felt safe, but it was daytime. Wouldn’t advise trying to tour this country completely alone as a woman. I’m generally very comfortable sitting in a restaurant by myself, but I instinctively knew I shouldn’t do it in Egypt.

Solo travelIs it better to book a tour package or day trip tours for a solo traveler on a budget?

I am looking to visit Egypt In a few weeks and was hoping for some advice. Being solo, is it better to book a tour package or just book day trip tours to what I want to see? I've noticed many packages are private tours now and it seems to be really pricey. I wouldn't mind being in a group and I have to be a little more towards the budget side

Solo travelWhat recommendations do you have for a solo female traveler in Egypt?

Heading to Egypt solo in December. I've heard everything and nothing about safety there as a solo woman but any recommendation would be amazing. Also must do/see while there ? I am looking at diving in the south of the red sea and exploring the pyramids and desert - really a dream coming true.

TravelShould I book a tour company before arriving in Egypt or upon arrival?

I am headed to Egypt in November. I am looking for suggestions of tour companies that I can book with or should I book upon arrival. I am looking to do a Giza pyramid tour and a camel/Atv tour. I plan on doing museums in Cairo on my own- unless you think a tour would be better.
