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 6 months ago and had a mixed time. Wondering if things have changed.
Any recent trip reports would be helpful.
Cheers

What was your total spend roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

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

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

Did you use freelancers or find girls at the hotel?

Adding my experience: scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.

Word of caution — do not carry too much cash. Other than that, great destination.

First time was a learning experience. Second time was much better. Experience makes all the difference.
