Hi Juli! Yes, I went to Egypt alone but I do have a friend in Cairo. I found it to be perfectly safe and didn\'t once feel intimidated but I have heard other people saying they did so I guess it depends how sensitive you are to this kind of thing. I would highly recommend Cairo...go to the old part of the city, to the Citadel and the City of the Dead. Also go and visit the museum in Downtown...I spent almost 3 hours in there and still did not see everything! There are lots of nice restaurants by the Nile and if you have enough money do one of the falucca boat trips. The night market is really good, lots of bargains if you are good at haggling or go with an Egyptian native. Try Koshary it\'s delicious!!! Hmmm sure I will think of a few more things to tell you. I am going back at the end of July so if you\'re still there we could meet up! I stayed at the Canadian hostel in Downtown which was cheap, clean, friendly staff and in a good location close to everything you could need! Hope all that helps and I\'m sure you are going to fall in love with Egypt as I did :)
