Is Egypt Safe?


Egypt is the land of magic and the beautiful Nile, Travelers from all over the world would like to visit Egypt at least once. Traveler safety is the priority, with civil unrest, tourist scams and terrorism all presenting threats in recent years.

But Egypt was stabilized the last few years and become in 2021 one of the top 10 detonations to visit.

We will discuss all the details, if you want to enjoy a tour in Egypt or enjoy the lifetime tour with Nile River Cruise.


Safety in the Streets and Public

When travelling around markets, especially at night, you must be aware of pickpockets specially in Cairo, as this is often a problem in Egypt's public spaces. Leave your valuables at home or securely locked in your hotel safe and only bring the amount of cash you will need for the day.

Taxis are also a common way in which tourists can be taken for a ride, if you will. If your cab has a meter, ensure it is turned on before you leave, and if it doesn't have a meter, negotiate a price before accepting the ride. It's also customary to leave a small tip. Be wary of any extra charges that your driver may add – extra persons, extra baggage etc. Agreeing on a price upfront is your best option.

Be careful with handing your camera over to locals at tourist hotspots. What you might consider asking for help to take a photo is what many locals see as a money-making opportunity. And when it comes to taking photos, be careful what you snap – it is prohibited to take photos of military installations, public buildings, some bridges and canals (including the Suez Canal), and not obeying this rule could get you in some serious trouble with the local authorities. Drones are also prohibited.
