Security and Recommendations

Security:

Egypt is one of the safest countries in the world . One can stroll in its streets at any time day and night peacefully without fear . Probably , the only two things that might bother you is the importunity of vendors or the curiosity of children .

Tourists will see a policeman noticeably present in the tourist sites . In Cairo , policemen are dressed in black in winter and white in summer . In other cities , however , they are dressed in khaki (a dusty yellow color) . In tourist places , policemen are dressed in either black or in white (if responsible for protecting the monuments and tourists) .
