Both Cairo and Alexandria are easy to get around due to the various ways of transportation at low prices. Always sit within the back seat if you used a taxi or uber. And if you used a metro, ride the women-only carriages. On all the other public transportations always sit next to a woman.

Hotels are the best places to stay in as all the entrances are security checked and secure, so pick a high rated hotel before traveling to Egypt, which can become your second home while traveling.
