Please tell me if it is safe to go to Egypt in order to visit the pyramids.
Please tell me if it is safe to go to Egypt in order to visit the pyramids. Now the political situation in the country, it seems to me, is very far from stable. Thanks in advance.

I would not go there now - not the situation, then we will see. The pyramids have stood for more than one millennium, so they will endure a couple more years.

Strannik, hundreds of thousands of people travel, travel and will continue to travel. Tourists are not touched - this is their business. Why ruin something that makes a profit. They "fought" in their villages and fled to their homes. If you want to go on your own, do not take a tour from a hotel guide. Here is the schedule for you: http://www.ask-aladdin.com/bus_schedules.htm. Cheaper, but here you are the builder of your own happiness.

Political unrest is mainly near state institutions and not near tourist sites. My friends just returned and went to Cairo and Alexandria. Everyone is happy.

alex45, Are you afraid of everything about what they show on the "box"? Or do you have your own residence in Cairo that you are so aware of the situation? Nobody touches tourists and everything that makes a profit. There were hundreds of rallies in Egypt, the country was without a head and nothing happened. Tourist routes are ALWAYS bypassed. victor86, confirmed the same to you. So don't be afraid of Strannik, there will be many more people with you on the tour (if you feel calmer that way).

I can answer that they may not show what could be on the box. And why be afraid, I once saw in Alma-Ata, where there was a massacre (this was still under the USSR during the years of perestroika, if you heard, otherwise you don’t look at the box ). I believe that this is your residence in Cairo, that you are giving out guarantees!

alex45, but you are with black humor). Tell me what to be afraid of? For example, people go to the same Cambodia ... to look at Angkor, and the Khmer Rouge is still in charge there). Yes, maybe there is some kind of risk, but now "tie up" everything only in our Ukraine?

Yes, people go everywhere - no problem! But it all comes down to risk. Now, for example, this share in Egypt will be more than usual, and this is a fact! We only remind about it, that's all, and the decision is up to everyone. Nobody has canceled the theory of probability yet, and now, unfortunately, it opposes long-distance trips in this country. This year, for example, we were tuned in to Luxor, as in the past this trip fell through. Based on the current realities, we decided to wait - the safe and God saves. Why disputes? Everyone is able to weigh and make their own decision and we have no right to impose it. And to arrange squabbles is completely worthless.

And the humor is black, this is when by chance, not prepared, you fall under the distribution, and not involved in this matter. But I am also a supporter of the fact that everyone is the master of his life and can travel to Egypt, Libya, Afghanistan and the Khmer Rouge too! And if if the Khmer Rouge were in charge in Cambodia, there would be nothing for tourists to do there (old information, dear)!

If TO conduct excursions to Cairo, then it is safe for tourists.
And it turns out that you can’t go to Kyiv if there are rallies on Khreshchatyk?

I'll tell you my opinion.
I would go to Egypt to rest even now, but I would refrain from visiting the pyramids, we'll see after the elections.

Risk in a simple way is the PROBABILITY of bad things. That is, it may not be, but it may be. And where is the guarantee that this "maybe" will not break out? I wouldn't go. Pyramids are not worth not only, God forbid, life or health, but also elementary nerves - what kind of rest is this, if you constantly think: it will carry it, it will not carry it, I will get it, I will not get a stone in my head. Those who fell under the distribution due to modern turmoil also probably thought: "Ah, it's someone who gets into trouble - but not with me" - so what? I understand: I REALLY want to - I myself am like that, I start looking for excuses, loopholes. And because of this "I really want to" we ourselves begin to attract the desired "everything will be fine" by the ears. What about realities? They do not care about our private thoughts - and they will not change under the influence of our thoughts.
Once again: personally, I would NOT go to see the pyramids during this period.
Sorry, I got into my favorite philosophy with my feet))) But I want to save my comrades in tourist interests.
DO NOT EAT. Save yourself. Go again! The only question is time.

My opinion on the comment — "AssolX replied:
If the TO conduct excursions to Cairo, then it is safe for tourists"
It doesn't mean ANYTHING!!!! What is it, and since when are your valiant TO "responsible for the market"? I have never heard of a TO that fully adequately paid off deceived customers.
Maybe someone from the readers will be able to tell where and when this happened?
Maybe the esteemed adviser of AssolX is the representative of TO? (by the way, he is clearly "not indifferent" to Ukrainian tourists, if you carefully read all the "soviets" and comments of this "author" ...

I agree completely with Biker_Oksana, I join. "It's not evening yet", you'll have time. There are many places so far safer (by the way, in Egypt itself).
Personally, the Pyramids were advised to me by my own impressions by several familiar couples who were in them. I'll wait for now.

Apart from the fact that excursions to Cairo are currently unsafe (a curfew has been introduced in Cairo), then if we ignore this and choose between the Pyramids and Luxor, I personally would go to Luxor if I were you. It's more interesting and educational.

And this year we decided to postpone Luxor as well (I wrote above), so weigh all the pros and cons and make your decision.

We did go, and even moved the plan (since last year) from October to September, so as not to be so close to the elections. And now, even more so, one must think that the proximity of the elections "activates" the people, especially the inadequate ones.

I think Cairo is generally not dangerous, but I personally would not go to Giza. When there are political unrest, especially on ideological grounds (radicals with Islamist views are more likely to come to power in Egypt), it is better not to be around. Here the crowd will not be stopped either by the risk of going to jail, or even by police shots. And let those who say that in Egypt no one touches tourists because it is their bread, do not flood. When there is a goal, when people are not satisfied with their lives, they will not be stopped by the fear of reprisals against a tourist who has come here from his Europe, snickers and enjoys rest and slave labor. Such views are often found among the Egyptians, who absolutely rightly believe that their work is hellish (they can work around the clock) and low paid (salaries of 100-200 dollars are considered quite decent). And when "bags of money" walk around their country, I want to punch them in the face. You almost never see this in resorts, but in the capital the likelihood of this is much higher. When people starve and suffer, wealthy tourists are a likely target for negativity.
