Has anyone been to Egypt recently? Looking for the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- Transport tips
I was there 6 months ago and had a great time. Wondering if things have changed.
Planning to go back next month.
Cheers

Agreed on all points. Make sure to get a local SIM.

Different experience for me. Prices were higher when I went.

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

Did you use dating apps or find girls at online?

Also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.

Word of caution — watch out for taxi scams at the airport. Other than that, great destination.

I was there in January and prices were great value. Spent about $50/day all-in.
My tip: avoid weekends.

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was much better. Experience makes all the difference.
