Is Egypt safe for travel?
Yes, Egypt is safe for travelers. Cairo is considered very safe, and the Madinah an-Nasr area in particular is a comfortable and reliable place for students. As with any large city, some areas are better suited for visitors than others, so students should inform staff and seek guidance before exploring areas outside of Madinah an-Nasr.
Will my phone work in Egypt?

Airport shuttles are provided upon arrival and departure. Students are responsible for their own transportation for all other outings. Uber is the preferred and most reliable option, with fares typically ranging from $1–$3 USD per ride depending on distance. Students who do not plan to purchase a local SIM card should set up their Uber accounts before arriving in Egypt.
