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
- Apps or platforms to use
I was there a while back and had a great time. Wondering if things have changed.
Keen to hear from anyone who has been recently.
Cheers

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

Also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.

Word of caution — some online profiles are fake. Other than that, great destination.

First time was good but could have been better. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.

First time was a learning experience. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.
