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
- New venues worth checking out
I was there a while back and had a mixed time. Wondering if things have changed.
Planning to go back next month.
Cheers

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

Been there 5 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The friendly atmosphere is what keeps me coming back.

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

I was there in last month and prices were slightly higher. Spent about $100/day all-in.
My tip: try the local spots away from tourists.

Also recommend downloading Grab before you go. Essential.
