This country is known for its unique culture with special traditions and cuisine, which put the country on the top 5 list of the World’s must ‘go to’ countries. Plus, it’s the home of pyramids and Pharaonic history.
Lately, the country has been experiencing some tragic incidents because of terrorism and ISIS attacks that mostly target tourist sites, public venues, government officials, and public transportations.
Also, women may get attacked or harassed by the male locals who, somehow, don’t have boundaries of how to respect females, especially the foreigners.
However, we can’t deny that Egyptians may be very hospitable, and there are some females who do travel alone and it turns out to be a great experience. In order to avoid any bad encounter, use the following tips:
– To avoid any harassment, it’s better to cover your shoulders and knees by wearing very loose clothing that covers the shape of your body.
– Be aware that eye contact may be considered as flirting, sunglasses are the safest option.
– You may sign up for a private or a small travel group just at first to avoid any problem.
– It’s best to use Uber over a Taxi.
