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 a while back and had a good time. Wondering if things have changed.
Planning to go back next month.
Cheers

Adding my experience: scene has bounced back since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality.

First time was good but could have been better. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.

Also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.

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