Solo vacation as a female in Egypt. Insane sexual harassment?? I am 24. Been to Egypt before with family and already knew what its like. But I wasn’t prepared for how bad it would go. Fyi I am staying in all-inclusive hotel in Hurghada and my main goal was to rest and snorkel here and there, no major trips or activities because I am on my own. But the non-stop sexual harassment is too much even for me. Don’…

Canadians to Egypt. I have a flight to Egypt booked for early December, but apparently Canadians can no longer get a visa online. We have to go to the consulate or embassy(none in Vancouver). Anyone know how a Canadian can get a visa for Egypt without travelling to an embassy. submitted by /u/bs7out7

2 weeks in Egypt 🇪🇬 Egypt was simultaneously the most fascinating and frustrating place I have ever traveled. I would go back in a heartbeat though. A dahabiya cruise, Nefertari’s tomb, Abu Simbel, and Dendara Temple are must-dos! submitted by /u/Shot-Still8131

Egypt Visa Restrictions for Canadians As I’m sure you’ve already heard, Egypt has placed restrictions on visa access to Canadians starting October 1st. I have a trip of a lifetime to Egypt leaving in early October. To our knowledge, the only way we can acquire a visa for this trip now is through the Egyptian Embassy in Ottawa. Since the announcement (two days ago), I have repeatedl…

Unmarried foreign and arab travelers in Egypt Hello! We are a couple with moroccan (him) and german (her) passport looking to travel to a decent resort. I know it’s not possible to share a room for unmarried egyptians in Egypt and if we both were European it wouldn’t matter as well, but are there special rules for arab/muslim travelers? Thanks! Update: Pickalbatros hotel just told me they w…

Should I pre-book Egypt vacation or rely on hotels for tours? My wife and I are planning a trip to Egypt in early November for about 8-10 days. We’re experienced travelers, but feel like this is a once-in-a-lifetime trip and we’re not afraid to splurge a bit. We’re thinking about Cairo, Aswan, Luxor, and maybe even Petra. Does anyone have experience with the pre-booked / all-inclusive (no airfare) trips fr…

Where to celebrate new year in Egypt? Hi folks. I will likely land in Cairo at 10pm on 31/12. Is it possible to arrive at Giza for the fireworks before the new year? I think it’s very unlikely, but in such a case, where would be the best place in Cairo to celebrate new year? ​ Sorry, I just realized the title says Egypt instead of Cairo! submitted by /u/anbeegod

Just came back from Egypt and we had a fairly positive experience OK, there’s so much negative posts here that a good experience would provide some perspective. My gf and I just came back from Cairo. We were bracing for a hell of a fight but really, it wasn’t that bad at all. For some background, we are 35 (m) and 30 (f) and have traveled extensively. To be clear, I don’t recommend Egypt to first time travel…

Looking for recommendations on Egypt Nile River cruises I will be traveling with my wife to Egypt and while I have heard horrible things about Egypt, I want to do a package tour where we will be with a guide the entire time. There are tons of options on Trip Advisor and such but was wondering if some folks had experience and recommendations. I was initially looking at Odynovo Tours but don’t know ho…

Morocco and Egypt have serious problems Let’s face it. We’ve read dozens of personal accounts of horrible trips to these countries. I have travelled around the world and I have to say that the constant uneasiness that one feels because your gender or sexuality or colour of skin makes you a target for incessant badgering is the worst type of feeling. These countries can be beautiful, c…

Do Not Travel to Egypt! We got back a few days ago from a trip to Egypt (American couple, mid-30’s + another couple), and it was the worst trip we have ever taken in our life. We are very experienced travelers and have been all over the world including some pretty rough places (Europe, SE & NE Asia, Middle East, South America, Africa, and several of the post-soviet Eur…

Jordan and Egypt Advice needed At the end of September I’ll visit Jordan and I’m planning Amman, Dead Sea, Petra and Wadi Rum desert overnight. After that I’ll take a flight to Cairo where I’m planning to visit Giza, Saqqara and the Egyptian Museum, I have an extra two days to spend and I’m wondering if it would be better to going to Luxor or the White desert tour now that ha…

In Egypt, Public Classrooms Are Empty as Private Tutors Get Rich In a country hobbled by economic crisis, families often turn to private education centers instead of schools to seek better futures for their children, sometimes even sacrificing food to pay for lessons.

Egypt Changed My Perspective On Travel Traveled through Giza, Cairo, a 4 day “luxury” Nile Cruise from Aswan downriver to Luxor and took a 4 hour bus ride to Hurghada then flew home. Being in this part of the world for the first time was incredible. The daily prayers stood out the most. Our first night we got in at 11pm and couldn’t sleep. At 3am loud prayers throughout Giza on loud…

HIV+: Vacation in Egypt Hey folks I have the opportunity to go on an adventure vacation in Egypt. Since I am gay and HIV+, I am a slightly worried. Although no HIV test is required for tourist stays, I need to carry my meds with me for personal, daily use. Has someone experience on taking HIV meds – in my case Biktarvy – to Egypt? Can someone elaborate on how the Egypt…

Egypt – I only hear negative things about Cairo, what are your experiences? I’m (42m)taking my 3 kids (17f, 18m, 23f) to Egypt in October. The itinerary consists of the first 4 days in Cairo. We then fly to Luxor and cruise down the Nile. Really looking forward to it. However, I keep reading that Cairo is horrendous. We have a tour of the pyramids, sphinx and museum booked. And in my curiosity to read on people’s “wor…
