Creator's Key Takeaways

Cairo safety has improved a lot in recent years.

Petty scams are way more common than actual crime.

Cairo often feels safer than you'd expect, especially compared to some major Western cities.

Dress modestly. This isn't about covering head to toe, but in general, both men and women should aim to keep shoulders and knees covered.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Learn to say 'la shukran' (no thank you) in Arabic to brush off persistent offers.
โœ“Use Uber or Karim for reliable, cashless transit instead of haggling with taxis.
โœ“Dress modestly to blend in and avoid unwanted attention.
โœ“Hire a legitimate local guide for more comfort and navigation help.
