Same with India. I heard its absolutely terrible there for small groups of women and impossible for solo travelling women. The advice I've heard that can help (a little) is wearing fake wedding ring and telling people that you're married.

Family went together. Mum, dad, and us two boys. ‘07 or so. Very friendly people. But armed soldiers everywhere. Perhaps have changed since then.

Well, the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_Crisis_(2011%E2%80%93... definitely did change some things around. I currently would not recommend visiting Egypt, when there are so many safer and more pleasant options available.

What's the problem?

We were in a group with women but solo might be hard work.

Or gay
