Answer 8

Answer 9

Man if I get a penny for every time I answered a question about the safety of Egypt

Egypt is safe for anybody! Period.

Answer 10

Yes it is safe.. As an American citizen I feel safer here than back in the states....

There are tourist police everywhere, you can choose to ride in a womens only car in the subway if you are a woman which is not available in any us state, Police carry machine guns not .38s, average citizens are prohibited from owning weapons not like the usa where any criminal can get an AK.

When you go to the ATM at your bank...there is at least 2 armed policemen to be sure no one even aproaches you,

If you are an American you are extra safe, because it is a serious crime here to bother foriegn passport holders...Governments don't want international issues...

If you do some kind of sexual crime in Egypt...they cut off your privates, and maybe kill you.. so you don't hear about rape too often..where as in the usa 1 of every 3 women under 25 have been raped. that is the lastest statistic.

The worst thing your brother and his family will encounter is bad traffic and people trying to squeeze more money out of him because most of the americans here are rich.

And his wife doesn't even have to leave the house for groceries....you can get anything delivered in Cairo at any hour of the night or day.

**Carina.. she isn't being paranoid.....you cannot believe how the news companies in the usa and the american government tells lies about countries like Egypt....the American people are lied to about saftey here on a regular basis....it is a political thing..most unfortunately!

Answer 11

yes, egypt is very very safe. I have come here since the last 4 months and see lots of foreigners, not ot worry.

Answer 12

No I'm Egyptian and I live in the US now because of the danger there is in Egypt towards Christians. If I were you I wouldn't go, especially if you are Christian and visibly foreign (blonde, colored eyes, lighter complexion). They bombed a few tour buses in the past...

Answer 13

Answer 14

why do americans seem to think any country outside the borders of the US is dangerous and evil

stop being so paranoid
