• Is it safe to travel to Egypt?

Egypt has always been a very safe tourist destination, especially in places considered "touristy". However, since the Egyptian revolution in January 2011, there have been sporadic political unrest in parts of Cairo, especially near the Palestinian-Israeli border. However, it must be emphasized that these attacks are very intermittent and never target tourists. People tend to see Egypt as a violent country and compare its situation to other neighboring countries such as Syria and Libya, but this is far from the truth.
Egypt has undoubtedly struggled with the political transition and, like other countries, tends to experience some difficulties. However, there were no major tourist incidents, and Egypt's most visited cities such as Cairo, Luxor, Aswan and Hurghada were not affected by the transition. No matter where you go, you can feel safe knowing that police, tourist police and military are always stationed in almost every major location.
Egyptians have historically had a reputation for being very friendly to tourists, and now more than ever they have lived up to that reputation by helping the industry recover and after some really tough years. Hope to earn a living.

In tourist areas, especially in coastal cities such as Sharm el-Sheikh and Hurghada, dress is not a problem.
