- The answer is: safe! While there is no guarantee, I can tell you from
- personal experience that Egypt is very safe as far as violence is concerned.
-
- What you should watch out for is pickpockets and swindlers. Aside from that,
- the chance of being a victim of violence in Egypt is minute compared to the
- chance of being killed in any major city in the US.
-
- The recent violence is great in comparison with previous years, but not in
- comparison with other countries.
-
- Have an enjoyable trip and don't forget to visit Luxor.
