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 6 months ago and had a good 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.

I was there in March and prices were about average. Spent about $50/day all-in.
My tip: midweek is much better.

Word of caution — be careful with street touts. Other than that, great destination.

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.

Did you use dating apps or find girls at clubs?

Also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.

Been there 10 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The value for money is what keeps me coming back.
