Following! I’ve been wanting to visit Egypt forever, but I’d like be travelling solo as I don’t know anyone else who’s that interested in visiting and I’m a bit unsure about it all.
In all my research and watching multiple TikToks about other travellers in Egypt, most people cover up quite a bit with loose clothing. If I go, I’d likely be taking lots of linen pieces, like wide leg pants, shirts and closed shoes in neutral colours as to avoid any unwanted attention.
Keen to see how people respond to this though!

Hi ladies! I just came back from holidays in Hurghada with my female friend and we had a wonderful time!
That being said, yes, women get a lot of attention in Egypt, no matter what you wear. Linen and conservative clothing outside of the resort are highly recommended.
I have yet to visit the historic places, but for that I’ll be taking a tour! It’s safer, cheaper, and there are lots of options that include everything depending on the number of days you have to travel. I am looking forward to BF to book mine!
So in short, if you stay at a resort, you are good. But if you want to see places, do not go alone! Book a tour instead and you’ll have an amazing time

Hi, I just got back 3 weeks ago from Cairo and Giza for 7 days solo. I never felt unsafe. I always use the common sense of not going out at night alone, etc. I would say Cairo is similar to Istanbul population wise, and just watch out for pickpockets, etc. I usually find my hotel online, and they reach out about local tours. Just a note on cash- yes, it’s better than card, but make sure you have new money without tearing or crumbling- regarding USD.
