i want to go soo bad but I hear its not a great place for americans nowadays has anyone been there if so where did you stay?
I would love to go but I would never go now. Too much going on in that area right now. I dated an Egyptian man years ago and he always wanted to take me there, I should have went when I had the chance! FH & I are going to Africa for our honeymoon and it is so dissapointing not to be able to stop in Egypt. I just don't trust it now.

This chick has got muscle.
I used to be a flight attendant and have been to Cairo. We stayed at the Intercontinental. It was before 9-11, but let me tell you, some of the girls had on shorts and they were whipped by men for showing their legs. I don't think travel agents ever tell you that! I wouldn't go with the state of affairs now a days.
I have been to Egypt. I stayed in Cairo for 5 days for business. I'm glad I was given the opportunity to visit, however, if I shelled out the money from my own pocket, I would have been very disappointed. I did not like Cairo. Although I stayed in a beautiful 5 star hotel, Cairo itself was filthy and the men there are very disrespectful to American women. The pyramids were great to see, but I expected them to be in the middle of the desert not across the street from a Burger King. Please keep in mind that I only went to Cairo. I have heard great things about other parts of Egypt, like Luxor. I really didn't feel that safe back in 2000 when I went. I think it would probably be worse now.
My best friend goes to egypt every few years and she was just there a few months ago. She didn't have any problems at all.
Personally, until this whole thing with Iraq is over, I would not be comfortable going to a Muslim Country. The ruins will always be there, but this tension won't. JMO.
I want to go to Egypt soooooo badly. Egypt and Turkey. But I wouldn't feel safe. I hope someday I do feel safe, because there is so much to see, so much history.
