    do no longer hassle Egypt is extremely secure i'm a 18 year previous female and that i return and forth over there on my very own and going to circulate over there very quickly. Egypt is a majority Muslim united states with Christians via fact the minority however the all stay fortunately together. Ask you self do the folk who've advised you those issues ever met a Muslim or be attentive to Muslims? Muslims are very type and worrying people no longer what's portrayed in the media. you're no longer likely to die you would be completely secure. The Egyptians see vacationers daily Cairo see hundreds of visitors on a regular basis. The Egyptians are very friendly, humorous, useful there will be no difficulty. I fairly might e book your cost ticket and rooms and start up packing and discover what Egypt is fairly like. i be attentive to many women who've traveled on my own so which you would be fantastic as a male. Have an exceptionally sturdy time in case you circulate.

    Yes Egypt is quite safe for the most part. I travelled on local coaches from Luxor to Hurghada and then onto Sharm El Shiek. There aren't many westerners doing this though so you tend to stand out. Most of the tourists are on supervised tours and are taken around in convoys for security. Check out the Lonely Planet guide to Egypt, see the Dangers & Annoyances section.

    Hi, I've been to Hurghada twice, and I'm American. It has the best scuba/snorkeling in the world! The red Sea is beautiful. I would just caution you to not drink water or eat raw salads. Eat everything cooked and you should be fine. People are extremely friendly and hospitable. I was at the Zahabia hotel twice and had a nice time.

    sure there are no 100% safe, but Hurgada is not that bad, there are many nice things you can do there, and it is one of the more safety point in Egypt now, Egyptian government try so hard to keep the touristic area more safety, what u wait for, pick your baggage and catch the flight, jumb in the red sea, enjoy your time there,

    wish u a nice trip.
