Unfortunate circumstances of corona virus and massive rain storms. Cairo is massive with a huge population to contend with. Historically fabulous of course which was our main interest

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

I love Cairo. I used to live there and find the life and people so energetic and kind. It is not an easy place to visit for Westerners. Finding a safe and comfortable hotel is important for single travelers.

1/5 - Terrible

Verified traveler

People are very cunning,cheat a lot,lie a lot,take advantage. Language is a huge issue. Do not take local taxis. Use Uber. Anyone who comes and starts talking with you or tries to suggest anything DECLINE or u will end up cheated

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Interesting city, very noisy and polluted however, would not stay more than a few days to visit specific nearby attractions.

1/5 - Terrible

Verified traveler

We’ve travelled the world. We didn’t enjoy Cairo. It was very dirty & noisy. There is NOT a pleasant place to stroll along the Nile. We didn’t feel unsafe but kept our guard up, constantly approached By scammers under the pretense to help us
