Safest destinations in Egypt for single travelers
Egypt offers rich solo travel experiences but requires some mindfulness, particularly for women and LGBTQI+ visitors. Cairo, Luxor, and Aswan—key destinations along the Nile—are generally safe when travelers stay alert in crowds and use trusted transportation. Violent crime is low, but street harassment can be an issue for solo women; modest dress and group tours help mitigate unwanted attention. English is widely spoken in tourist areas, with guides and hotel staff usually proficient, reducing language concerns. For LGBTQI+ travelers, Egypt presents challenges: while private same-sex relations are not explicitly criminalized, anti-LGBTQI+ sentiment persists, and discretion is strongly advised.
Cost of traveling to Egypt alone
Egypt delivers strong value for solo travelers eager to immerse themselves in ancient wonders. Budget-conscious visitors generally spend USD 50–90 per day, which covers hostel stays, local eats like koshari and falafel, and entry to major sites. Bookmundi’s Egypt solo travel packages start around USD 150 per person daily, bundling accommodations, guided sightseeing, transport, and select meals into well-organized packages. Solo travelers preferring private rooms should budget an additional USD 25–50 per night, depending on hotel standards and seasonality. Even with added comforts, Egypt remains remarkably affordable compared to many global destinations, allowing solo adventurers to comfortably explore the pyramids, temples, vibrant bazaars, and Nile cruises without overspending.
