I was in Cairo when I 9 year, I am in love at this city because they’re so beautiful, good kitchen (especially vegan) from beans, rice, so much suns and many cats. I dislike what they’re a little dirty and dusty

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!
Posted: March 1, 2026Cairo felt very unsafe, the men’s stares and catcalling made us very uncomfortable even though we were traveling with men. I was almost followed by two men (who propably did not know each other) when i stepped outside of a restaurant for a minute alone

Heyyy, I’m Mariam, nearly 24, from Egypt, and yes… I’m a lawyer, so technically I probably know how to get away with murder… kidding of course 😂 I’m coming to Hamburg in August for my master’s, and I’m really excited not just for studying but for the whole experience. I love discovering new cities, trying different foods, finding cute cafés, rooftop spots, hidden gems, and enjoying nightlife when the mood is right. I’m the type who says “just a quick coffee” and it turns into a full spontaneous day out. I’m super social, easygoing, playful, and I love meeting new people from different places and backgrounds. I enjoy good conversations, laughing a lot, sharing stories, and making real memories instead of just staying in one place all the time. I also love the idea of building connections that go beyond one city. If I meet people from other cities, I’d honestly love to visit and explore new places, and I’d be really happy to have friends I can go visit and share experiences with while traveling. At the same time, I’m respectful, clean, responsible, and drama-free. I can match chill vibes, party vibes, or deep late-night talk vibes depending on the moment. I just really enjoy good energy and people who are open-minded and fun to be around. So yeah, I’m basically coming to Hamburg for my studies, but also for the people, the adventures, and everything that comes with living in a new city. If you think we’d vibe, let’s talk and you’ll see it instantly :)
