Is it dangerous for a woman alone in Cairo? You need to take a taxi at the airport at night and go to the hotel, return in the morning. On the way back, a joint from morning to night, I want to go to the pyramids. Risky?

To say that it is dangerous would not be entirely true. You can't say it's safe either. Just a few things to keep in mind and everything should be fine.

No - my wife and I were in Cairo a few days last winter. It's just that the city is not for walking - only taxis from point to point. Crossing the road is an adventure...

Elenka08, what year were you in Cairo? What exactly are the nuances?
аватар Elenka08

It can be dangerous in any country
If you order an airport-hotel-airport transfer from the hotel, then it’s normal, you can order transfers from well-known international companies. There are many tourist and excursion agencies that organize a transfer to and from the hotel and an excursion to the pyramids.

And Uber, what, will it be unsafe?

Uber in Cairo works quietly - just a taxi not to the terminal itself, but from half a kilometer away. Around the city, no problem. With the Internet working, either install a vodafone or orange ...
At the airport itself, on the left hand at the exit, the limousine service price to the pyramids is about 400 pounds (350 after bargaining)
If you leave the hall and go to a taxi, the price will be about 250. If it’s hard to find your way, ask the police officers for help. Uber doesn’t cost more than 250. You can change money for pounds at the ATM on the left (behind the limousines) - well, or ask where else there is.
Taxi white checkered-at night Cairo does not sleep without a car do not stay)))

Greetings
A woman in Cairo alone is no less safe than, for example, in Moscow or Kyiv.
They can pay attention to you, in tourist places all sorts of beggars can pester. There are no more dangers.
Taxis are easily available at the Cairo airport, either via Uber or simply from local taxi drivers. The prices are very reasonable, it will be cheaper than ordering transfers.
But if you have a whole day on your way back, I recommend using the services of a Russian-speaking guide with transport.

I did just that - I ordered a Russian-speaking guide with a car, I managed everything I wanted, and even more)
