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 last year and had a mixed time. Wondering if things have changed.
Trying to decide between this and Thailand.
Cheers

Word of caution — be careful with street touts. Other than that, great destination.

I was there in March and prices were exactly as described. Spent about $80/day all-in.
My tip: midweek is much better.
