It is very safe in the tourist areas, and big cities, particularly Cairo and Alexandria. There are “Tourism and Antiquities Police” everywhere, and anywhere you travel with a group, you will also be provided a police/military escort, w/ automatic weapons. Egypt has many downsides, but they do know how important is tourism, and they provide the most extensive security I have seen anywhere in the world for tourists. You will not regret visiting Egypt.
