Hello everyone,

Navigating roads and experiencing traffic in Egypt as an expat can be a learning experience. We invite you to share your insights in order to help other expats and soon-to-be expats stay safe on the road in Egypt, whether driving, cycling or just crossing the street.

Are traffic rules strictly respected or enforced in Egypt?

Are there any unspoken rules, unexpected habits or regulations that you had to adapt to?

Are the roads safe and well-maintained?

Are there specific times of day, weather conditions, or seasons that make driving more dangerous?

If you have children, do you feel comfortable letting them travel alone on local roads, whether on foot, by bike, or motorbike?

What are your tips or advice to stay safe on the roads in Egypt?

Share your insights and experience.

Thank you for your contribution.

I will go in October in Hurghada again this time I want to take a car and after we finish our hotel stay we will move to Cairo. I am interested to see how its to drive there as roads from Airplane are very straight and weather very different than in Europe.
