Egypt's security situation has improved significantly in recent years and the major tourist circuits — Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, and Red Sea resorts — are considered safe for tourists. Police presence at tourist sites is heavy. Millions visit Egypt annually without incident.
The Sinai Peninsula (outside Sharm el-Sheikh) and the Western Desert border areas have travel advisories — check your government's current assessment. Standard caution applies in Cairo: use only licensed taxis or Uber, avoid political gatherings, and dress modestly. The heat in Upper Egypt (Luxor, Aswan) in summer can be dangerous — visit October–April when possible.
