I would not advise if there is no experience! When I was in Egypt, of course I don’t drive myself, but I was shocked by how they drive! Russia and Egypt are completely different rules! In any case, be careful if you do!

In Turkey, traffic is normal, next time we are going to go there "savage " - we will definitely take a car.
In Thailand - left-hand drive (steering wheel on the right side). I wouldn't risk it there. Is that on a moped on the sidewalks :-)

I really do not advise you to go to mamim, because. there are a lot of armed patrols, they check the postpartum, and you hardly know Arabic! do not take risks, if you want to know more, then take a tour of week 2 at least, and go on all excursions: luxor, alexandria, cairo. And it's dangerous! The maximum that you can do is to drive around the village in which you will rest. And there they drive practically without rules, I have never seen traffic lights anywhere there, they drive very fast. So don't risk it in vain

IT CAN TURN SO THAT YOU WILL HERSE CAMELS FOR THE REMAINING LIFE IN SINAI AND NO ONE WILL FIND YOU AND WILL NOT LOOK FOR YOU! ONLY ON TOUR, ORGANIZED AND UNDER PROTECTION AND NOT ALONE AND DON'T FORGET WE ALL REMBA LYING IN THE KITCHEN, ON THE SOFA.

Read a little about the country. Determine the language in which you will communicate. Try to make a route and calculate its length. Determine the airport of arrival and departure. Then find out the conditions and cost of renting a car. Determine the type of visa you need. There are routes on which movement is allowed only with an escort. Try to book places for overnight stays and gas stations. And then you will understand that in order to move around like that you need to know the country perfectly, have a considerable amount of money and

I would not advise you, it's dangerous ... In Egypt, as such, there are no traffic rules, that is, they certainly exist, but no one observes them. They drive at a terrible speed and all the rules come down only to the fact that "pofakat " and that's it :))

I saw with my own eyes how godlessly the Egyptians drive cars and was horrified repeatedly. But what is most interesting, I have one friend who, in the company of people like him, traveled around Sinai on bicycles. But there was really very serious preparation: a visa at the embassy (they were there for 40 days) and full camping equipment ... It was really a trip by savages.

Where to rent a car in Egypt?
Of course you can rent a car. But not a single tour leader will recommend their tourists to do this. And there are several reasons for that:
- Relatively high rental cost, as the declared price provides for a certain limit of kilometers per day. And for each next kilometer you will have to pay separately. And given that Hurghada and Sharm are a chain of hotels stretching along the coast for tens of kilometers, and the distance to Cairo, where

pyramids, about five hundred kilometers one way, and closer historical sites where one could go from Hurghada - Luxor, which is only 375 km away, and from Sharm - the oasis of Moses - about 150 km, then the price for renting a car for active trips are increasing exponentially.
- A car does not give a foreigner in Egypt the freedom of movement that a person seeks when they want to rent a car.
