Is Egypt Safe? All Your Questions Answered 2017 مصر

We explain why we felt safe travelling through Egypt, including walking around Cairo, using taxis and public transport, and staying in hostels and hotels during a state of emergency. We describe the kindness of the Egyptian people and argue that media reports often exaggerate isolated unrest instead of representing the whole country. We encourage travellers to use common sense, keep an open mind, and experience Egypt’s culture, history, food, and local communities for themselves.
