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 a while back and had a mixed time. Wondering if things have changed.
Keen to hear from anyone who has been recently.
Cheers
