Returned from 12 days in Egypt. Exceeded expectations.
Accommodation:
Mid-range Airbnb near the main area. $26/night. Clean and central.
Scene:
Quieter than I hoped but still good. Prices were fair for the quality.
Quality:
Varied — some great, some average. Had 10 encounters total.
Logistics:
Public transport is good enough. Found great local restaurants.
Safety:
Felt safe throughout.
Overall: 8.5/10. Would definitely return.
Happy to answer any questions.

Adding my experience: scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: some old spots closed.

First time was good but could have been better. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.

Also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.

Been there 12 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The quality is what keeps me coming back.

Did you use local sites or find girls at clubs?
