On Safety and Traveling to Egypt…

Is It Safe to Travel to Egypt?

“I love reflecting on the enormous difference between how our guests feel upon arrival and how they feel when they depart for home.  Many arrive wondering how safe the trip might be, and only a few days later any such feelings and ideas disappear to such a degree that many wish to stay longer and not return home so soon. Politically, Egypt employs a strategy to ensure it, as a nation, remains away from geo-political problems to the greatest extent possible.” 

- Khaled Shalaby

“People from all corners might hesitate to travel to Egypt because of the Middle East conflict. I might have thought the same thing until I got to Egypt. I never once felt unsafe…probably safer than some parts of the US. Khaled gives tremendous care to his people…I’ve never questioned my safety in Egypt!”
