12 Amazing Things to do in Egypt

Do take taxis rather than public transportation. Especially for women, if you have to travel by public transit, always try to sit next to other women. You can avoid unwanted attention if you, for example, take the first car on the underground train.
Do ask locals the fare for your destination before taking a taxi. Agree with the taxi driver on the fare before getting in. In Cairo they have the metered ("white taxi"), but always check the meter is working. Otherwise leave the taxi and take another. You can leave a three-pound tip at the end of your ride. It is preferable to use Uber or Careem and they are available in most cities in Egypt.
