im due to fligh out to egypt on tuesday, due to my friend being really sick in hospital, I have heard today, that they say its not safe for me to come there, I have booked my flight and i cant get my money back or change it,
i worried cause i really want to come and i want to know if i will be safe as a westerner, Should i stay in Cairo and do you recomend a safe cheap hotel to stay in,
Maybe this is an excuse not to come, but i have to come as i cant return my ticket, and i also am looking forward to the brake, Have you any ideas for me as a woman alone there I hope you can help thanks

Posted by soozi (Member # 11108) on :
I think it is excuses as well. And if they don't want you there, then maybe you shouldn't go?
Lets be honest, out of all your comments about this guy on previous posts its not boding well for any kind of future is it? Cut your losses, and move on. Ok so you lose your airfare, but keep a bit of pride!

Come & be on your own but deliver him an indirect message when you're back that you were in Egypt...... he'll go mad...... that's only if you want to get back at him after moving on Posted by Left.Side.Lying.State.Of.Mind (Member # 6244) on :

Egypt is one of the safest countries in the world

Posted by yorkshire rose (Member # 12072) on :
i would if possible like something cheap and clean as i have not so much money, i dont have a clue about the areas, which is nice and then close to all ameneties, that would really be the best, all i need is a bed, shower and wc, i dont need luxury, i will bring my own wc papier haahhaaha, dont know what to do with that water pipe

If you are arriving in Cairo the following hotel is cheap and clean and it is a quiet part of Cairo very near the British Embassy
New Garden Palace Hotel 11 Modereat Al Tahir St Garden City

Ohh sorry just had a thought, sady many Egyptians make up stories of illness hospital treatment etc and your friend might not actually be in hopsital just a tale from him and his family. I have a friend who's egyptian boyfriend asked twice for money to bury his mother.

I thought about giving it a go on a couple of occasions but never quite got the guts!!! Fear of not knowing what to expect!!
Posted by doodlebug (Member # 11649) on :
I always use tripadvisor.com when I am looking for a place to stay. They have a section for Cairo and just a quick look shows that this place http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g294201-d469492-Reviews-Hotel_Longchamps-Cairo.html gets a lot of good reviews. They have a forum there too but it's not near as active as this one is. Good luck and try to have fun and not think about the guy!

Hi Yorkshire rose,
I've been living in Cairo as a foreigner for several years and I think it's one of the safest cities on earth. Yes, you will get harassed and that's annoying, and you might also get a certain kind of aggression from young guys, but you are very unlikely to ever feel in physical danger there. There is certainly not a "war on Westerners" going on, lol. I've been in Cairo even during the Iraq war and never felt unsafe even then.
As for a hotel, I have no first hand experience of this one, except that I went to their rooftop bar a few weeks ago and quite liked it But the review sounds quite good:

Imagine that, it wouldnt have been only wide, but would have given me constant uncontrollable diahrreas & stinkiness ...... yuck I'd go to hell for that Posted by soozi (Member # 11108) on :
I was more concerned with the fact that the same pipe had been up everyone elses too.

I have to say that I felt safer in Egypt than I do in America. As for the young guys hasseling you........ well, that only happened once when I was alone. I learned the hard way that you cannot always be nice in these situations. Polite and firm. Since those guys usually think western womean are rich and easy, they will give a really good shot before giving up. The word Police works really well with those guys and taxi drivers. LOL But if you travel a lot you already know this.
I hope you have a great time. Let us know how it goes.
The waterpipe. LOL Actually I'm more comfortable with that than the squat toilets. I think using them sucessfully at all times is.........for the experienced. Posted by yorkshire rose (Member # 12072) on :
do you have to use a towel to dry off, or do you use and then just walk away with wet pants hahahahahaah
