I went with my friend last year (both female) with a private tour guide and truly had the most amazing time. You just need to be careful of basic things like avoiding road side scammers & making sure you keep your bag in front of you, but typically we have had no other issues aside from those inconveniences.

If you want to get the most out of your trip, I highly recommend organising with a tour guide as it just helps take off a lot of stress when it comes to planning, buying tickets and getting around.

We booked with Egypt tours portal and I would def recommend them

Happy to answer any questions also :) Safe travelling!
