Travel Safety Guides for Egypt

City-by-city safety scores, scams and emergency contacts.

Luxor

62/100

Luxor is a tourist-focused city where serious crime is rare, but extreme heat, aggressive vendors, and Nile-cruise quality variability are the key concerns.

Cairo requires heightened awareness. Most visitors enjoy it without incident, but verbal harassment of solo women, aggressive vendors at pyramids, and political flashpoints are real risks. Use registered guides and ride-hailing.
