Spent there 3 unforgettable weeks and felt safe moving around 24/7. Most of the ppl from all social layers speak English and made it easy to communicate and avoid misunderstandings once that an old lady selling bread in a market didn't like that I was about to make a photo of her counter and started yelling in Arabic. I am from Cyprus and 25% Lebanese, quite similar looks to an Egyprian, so I could go unnoticed most of the time and only be met with courtesy when ppl got to know where I come from.

This isn't true at all, actually I think Cairo is way more safe than the most of us and UK, I never faced a robbery or something, the only thing that's bad here is scamming prices that's it, Egypt is safe, I walk alone in dark streets every night never had a problem, Egypt is safe trust me..

you are totally safe if you are willing to visit hurghada ~ elgouna ~ sharm el sheikh, but if u r willing to visit cairo , alexandria or any other city that is next to cairo then you have to be very careful & i wouldn't advice you to go out after 11 PM

The country is very safe, am a female tourist and I never experienced anything in Cairo or Alexandria.
But if you never been to Egypt before come to tourist areas/cities such Aswan, hurghada, luxor, sharm alsheikh they are very safe and you will enjoy it there.

Egypt has become really unsafe, anybody can do whatever he wants since there is no police. I have been seeing lately numerous videos showing robberies, beating, killing, people with guns,,,wtf wats happening?

it can be summarized in one word " each soul must eventually come to taste the death " it's the motto of your case if you intend to live in Egypt .
