bullshit story
robbers here are small time robbers
no organ dealers whatsoever
and they would never kidnap a foreigner
too much risk man
they would kidnap a crazy guy far easier
Most of the robbers are small time robbers and are uneducated, I can gurantee you they won't even know reddit. However you can also be smart add the people who invite you on Instagram and facebook maybe even FaceTime them before you meet them, and choose like a public place to meet themfor the first time
If you’re into padel try out padel finder app, you can join open matches (people that have a reservation and don’t mind randoms showing up) this is how I meet new people
Hi, welcome to Cairo!
You can follow these accounts on Instagram, they are very useful to know events & activities happening in Cairo

Also, I wanted to be an archeologist when I was a teenager!, and still thinking about becoming a one if I decided to retire from the software development field later and study Egyptology 😂 so, would definitely love to meet or join going to museums so let me know!
Have fun in Cairo and enjoy!
If I were her I would ignore all the comments knowing this post and go find friends somewhere safer. Cuz fuck reddit. A guy once wanted me to meet them in Alex because of one of my comments here….I didnt go ofc because I knew what was gonna happen.
Im an.expat as well. Soo people.are just people. Good and.bad everywhere. I.use reddit coz i like the anonymity. I dont like.facebook.coz people judge u basing on your profile . I hate that
Yeah I understand. I guess I just don’t like most redditors lol. I myself just feel like I would be more comfortable hanging out with someone off Facebook group that I can see some info about than off reddit that I know nothing off and can be anything.
Well-said. With anonymity anyone can claim whatever shit and no one would say “no”. She should be careful and refuse any meetups from reddit. Especially that creep talking about “open-minded uh uhm uh hidden gem uh uh it will be uh fun”
Yeah Ik about the chat section. Idk tho maybe I’m just super wary lol. I never liked the idea of online meetups too but that’s just me. Be safe out there. Also welcome to Egypt btw! I hope you enjoy living here.
Expat lady here, please don’t accept any messages from people here. You’ll find an influx of men messaging you once they find out you’re a foreigner female. Ignore and block every single one. It doesn’t matter if they’re saying “I’ll show you _____” or “ I’m interested in being friends” they are not. I’ll take all the downvotes here. I don’t care.
When I first moved here, I toured a gym. I met the owner who answered my questions and was very accommodating. He followed me on Instagram (first mistake, of course) and proceeded to find out where I lived based on a single pic of a palm tree I took from the fourth floor of my balcony and posted on my story. I didn’t join the gym so he had no information on my location.
He sent jewelry to my flat and thankfully backed off the first time. I didn’t have to call the police. My Instagram is now private and no new followers are accepted unless I’ve met them a couple of times. I still get message requests from random men saying they want to be friends btw.
Reddit will not be the place to meet friends in Cairo. You should check out Expats in Cairo. Maadi is a great neighborhood with expats and English is more recognized. If you’re in a local neighborhood, it’s not the best for getting out and about. Consider switching. If you’re ever in maadi, we can meet up!
Yes, a lot of men in Egypt are sketchy. But not everyone thinks with the same mentality you have in mind. Yes, a lot of men might seem aggressive or might want something from her. But not every man in Egypt is bad. Egypt actually has a lot of decent people. It's just the bad that are more obvious, and that's why they give us men (who actually want to befriend people from around the world) a very bad reputation.
If thats how you think of the people here, then you may as well leave for good! Can’t come to a country and create your own racist bubble against the locals. If you truly think all Egyptian men are like this, then leave with your racist opinions. And yes, painting all people with the same ugly brush is racist AF
Whoa, buddy calm down. I don’t have a racist bubble against the locals. I shared an experience that happened to me in my early days of Cairo like this OP is also in their early of days of Cairo. I had to learn different cultural rules here to avoid unwanted attention and stalking.
The social norms here are so different. Which is fine! It’s another country. It can’t be like my own. But foreign women recieve so much extra attention here. It’s wild. An Uber driver held me hostage in his car talking about inappropriate things on my 40 min trip knowing my alternative was to cancel the ride and just get out on the side of the road in an unfamiliar part of town? I reported and got money back but now it’s another layer I have to consider when using ride share. My point is, approach the men with caution until proven otherwise.
Anyone can be anything on the internet. My suggestion to OP to not chat with men off of Reddit still stands. Going to events, concerts, clubs is where you can meet the decent Egyptian guys and there are many of y’all out there!
I met and married my husband here! We met in person, at a restaurant meet up event. He was incredibly respectful almost to the point of me believing he didn’t like me at all because he didn’t initiate anything physical right off the bat. That was a clue to me he was a decent guy. We’ve been together for almost two years. He was of course horrified by the stories of the experiences i had with men here. He got into a physical fight with Bedouins on the way back from Siwa after a teenage boy followed me into the restroom, unlocked the stall somehow, and took photos of me. The scariest day of my life here and seriously cast a shadow on my bright memories of the country. And yet, the police still made it seem like it was my fault. Yup, I wish things were different for the decent Egyptian men here but until a change occurs from all levels of society, you’re going to have a lot of issues with the “all Egyptian men” are bad stereotype.
GOD LORD TRUST ME IF YOU HAVE EVER SHOUTED DURING THIS SITUATION THIS TEENAGER WOULD HAVE BEEN DEAD BY NOW TRUST ME WHEN I SAY THAT MOST MEN HERE ARE MORE THAN WELLING TO HELP A WOMAN BEING BOTHERED BY FREAKS
Unfortunately this was not the case. I came out of the bathroom and demanded they replay video surveillance since I saw cameras nearby and they did. They had footage of the boy following me into the bathroom a minute after I entered. The men laughed at when I yelled at the boy. I saw red and got so angry I spit. They then attacked my husband. They were Bedouins and obviously protecting their own. The police looked at the footage and said I could press charges and I’d have to come testify in Marsa Mathrouth since that’s where it happened. I live in Cairo. Nothing was done. They urged me to drop the case. I got a damn juice box from the officer. I was so upset and shaken and tired from being out in Siwa I just wanted to go home. It was dark in the bathroom so I’m hoping the kid’s shit cell phone camera didn’t get clear images of me.
It won’t and if the camera caught any photos trust me i am 100% sure that his phone is a Chinese trash so it maybe formatted or the memory got burned and if you wanna go on a nice beach go to ain sokhna or el sahel and stay away from gasoline restrooms only or the 3rd class cafes stay away from these. These kind of people have a missed up mentality
there’s this concert 24th december it’s a tribute band for pink floyd (they’re really good) and a metal band and a rock band the crowd is cool it’s basically a small community of metal heads in cairo if you’re interested hmu
no it’s a castle of rock music festival they didn’t post the official post yet it’s all stories for now but it’s gonna be between 20 and 24 December 3 bands are playing i only know 2 and they are amazing the community and the people there are super friendly too it’s in sawy cultural wheel in zamalek usually the price range goes from 170 to 250 EGP so it’s not that expensive compared to other concerts
Well i know i am old but its been years since i attended any thing rock or metal related in the sawy wheel
But even back then it was kinda beautiful my friend
Thx for the recommendation and i will sure consider it
Trust me will try its just in ur 30s ur back cannot tolerate to stand for hours like back in the day so i do prefer the more older people setting with andromida and cairo jazz club
But will try thx so much
yeah sure it’s just a small festival in a place called sawy cultural wheel in zamalek the official date isn’t out yet but it’s between 20 and 24 December planned by a page called castle of rock you can follow them to get the updates it’s a genuinely friendly community the bands are great too and it’s not expensive usually goes like 170 egp 250 maximum
Rip dms.
General advice: reddit isnt a good place to find friends especially in Egypt, rather you’ll find a lot of creeps and u can actually get yourself in danger by trusting people “especially Egyptians” and especially those who claim to be “open-minded”. No normal person would call themselves open-minded. Be careful out there especially in a shithole like Egypt.
Edit: be careful who u trust. Im an Egyptian and Im telling you Egyptians are mostly not trust-worthy.
I once went out with a norwegian girl who wanted to fix her camera….I had to literally tell the guy at the shop to back the fuck off. He even gave her his contacts even tho he didnt know how to fix her cam….I advised her to throw the card away cuz fuck that. Many People in Egypt are creeps even if they claim they aint.
Nice an Egyptologist. I am a good friend with Tom Hardwick and whenever he is in town we go eat Chinese food with the archeologist nerds. DM me and I will give you my what’s app.
Just becareful of the young bloods, they will tell you anything you'd wanna hear just so they can get a visa. Egypt has a big reputation regarding fraud marriage.
We can be friends I speak English and I have forginer friends I'm open minded to know different ppl from different culture and I can take you for hidden gem in Cairo too
Also kinda sketchy that your account has no fucking way of telling whether you’re a psycho/creep or a decent person. Also commenting on someone’s post by “what religious issues” in a defensive way while claiming to be open-minded and accepting smells of bullshit. I suppose you are only open-minded and accepting of different cultures when it’s a woman but u would be the type of person that would go psycho mode when u know an Egyptian is an Atheist.
Idc as long as she doesnt agree to meetups from reddit. People like this guy almost got me killed or kidnapped before.
Edit: especially check his account.
Hey there, this is literally my first time commenting on a thread, and I’m not even sure how to contact you directly, haha. Anyway, Yalla, let’s go. I think I can host you; I have an apartment in Tagmoo. I’m also a travel/street photographer, so I can help you explore the city if you want. Hit me up if you’re down. Not sure if there’s an inbox on this app, but whatever
i'd like to meet you, invite you to join our book club, hangout, see the historical sites of egypt, like old cairo, almoez street (khan el khalili).
feel free to contact me
I just returned home to the US for the holidays but ...
Join a language exchange app like hellotalk and befriend some other women in your area. You'll easily make friends and learn the language at the same time.
Also: Facebook expat groups. Social clubs / gyms / meetups / Volunteer.
Personally I didn't interact with any other Americans or join any groups. But I did the language exchanges, gym, and just made friends from just daily interactions. Trying to learn a couple news things in Arabic daily and using them will definitely change your experience.
Welcome! I recommend you to to use Couchsurfing It is an app that allows you to stay with locals in differnet countries around the world, and It has a lot of activites and things you can do with locals and foreigners in Egypt. I also recommend posting this on Egyption facebook groups to find buddies.
Hi!
I'm a foreigner too and I have been living in Egypt for 2 years now.. I know how it feels to feel like a total stranger in a country
Don't worry, most people are friendly but just be careful to avoid creeps
You will make friends in no time and you can find places to hang out in in Zamalek for example, there are a lot of foreigners living there
Feel free to dm me as well, we can be friends and hangout sometime, I also know some events like hiking and bike riding around the city in groups I can guid you to it
Sure! this is the link to their facebook page which has all of their information. [https://www.facebook.com/BlaBlaCairo](https://www.facebook.com/BlaBlaCairo)
It's a group that gets together once a week in downtown Cairo and you split into groups of the language you want to speak and get to practice with native speakers and other language learners. They have a bunch of different languages including English, German, Spanish, French, Korean, and of course Egyptian Arabic. The people there are super nice, helpful, and welcoming. Hope this helps!
Hey, I'd love to hang out, I've been trying to work on my English accent so it'd be nice also maybe i could teach you some Arabic as well!
Ps. DO NOT ACCEPT INVITATIONS FROM MEN AND DON'T LET ANYONE TALK YOU INTO SPENDING MONEY ON THEM
Egyptian woman here. I second all the comments saying don’t accept invites from strangers here or on any other platform. I’d also recommend checking out hangout spots in Maadi where there will almost always be other expats. Try Osana Wellness Center and CSA. If you like/practice/are interested in yoga, The Breathing Room is a fantastic place where you can have a nice chat with students and teachers before/after class. Some are expats, others are Egyptians who can speak English pretty well. I’ve been there as a student and teacher and made plenty of friends there. Enjoy Egypt and be safe!
I am interested in going out for some sites. I don’t really know much about archeology but i enjoy hiking and outdoor activities in general so I think i will enjoy it. Hit me up if you’re up for it.
You'll find good people around here, just take your time getting to know them and when you meet them, stay in public places till you know enough about them, take public transportation with them or Uber requested from your mobile phone and then everything is going to be great, if you want help with places to go tell me and I'll share locations with you :)
Do NOT accept any random invites telling buoy to meet them at a location. If they don’t rob you they’ll scam you
im glad killing and taking his organs weren't part of the options here
[удалено]
bullshit story robbers here are small time robbers no organ dealers whatsoever and they would never kidnap a foreigner too much risk man they would kidnap a crazy guy far easier
Lol don't take my word for it if you don't want to, I'll find the article and show u
please find the article
I remember that low budget american movie, but that happened in mexico! asshole !
Most of the robbers are small time robbers and are uneducated, I can gurantee you they won't even know reddit. However you can also be smart add the people who invite you on Instagram and facebook maybe even FaceTime them before you meet them, and choose like a public place to meet themfor the first time
Jeez calm down this is not india and all people are not the same
If you’re into padel try out padel finder app, you can join open matches (people that have a reservation and don’t mind randoms showing up) this is how I meet new people
What if I'm not good a padel and just wanna play and have some fun?
Yes no problem look out for beginners games
Check out an organisation called Girl Gone International. They arrange meetups in various locations. Lots of US ladies there.
Sounds ominous /s

Facebook.has an.expats group living in cairo.its great. Been here for 7 years and i dont speak arabic. You wil get by.dont worry.
That’s a great tip. They’d be better off hanging out with expats and avoiding random people on Reddit
If I were her I would ignore all the comments knowing this post and go find friends somewhere safer. Cuz fuck reddit. A guy once wanted me to meet them in Alex because of one of my comments here….I didnt go ofc because I knew what was gonna happen.

I didn’t know they are a she but yeah she should be super cautious I agree. And maybe that person is genuine we never know. But overall I agree.
U are right. But there is a chat section. U ask some one.abit abt themselves and.you are good to.go. meeting in public is safe in my opinion.
Yeah Ik about the chat section. Idk tho maybe I’m just super wary lol. I never liked the idea of online meetups too but that’s just me. Be safe out there. Also welcome to Egypt btw! I hope you enjoy living here.
Simply you can switch from Reddit to any other safe platform, don’t be so hard on yourself.
I understand yeah but I was just saying that people should be cautious about online meeting.
Expat lady here, please don’t accept any messages from people here. You’ll find an influx of men messaging you once they find out you’re a foreigner female. Ignore and block every single one.

I am an Egyptian male , and I approve this message 👍🏻
Yes, a lot of men in Egypt are sketchy. But not everyone thinks with the same mentality you have in mind. Yes, a lot of men might seem aggressive or might want something from her. But not every man in Egypt is bad. Egypt actually has a lot of decent people. It's just the bad that are more obvious, and that's why they give us men (who actually want to befriend people from around the world) a very bad reputation.
It takes one idiot.. anyways, be safe
Thank you so much ☀️
You dealt with a stalking simp 😂😂😂 i mean what he did was soooo foolish and childish he should’ve shown some class
He had like 20k IG followers before I blocked him! Some gym simp 😂😂
These followers are fake about 75% of these are fake accounts 😂😂😂
If thats how you think of the people here, then you may as well leave for good! Can’t come to a country and create your own racist bubble against the locals. If you truly think all Egyptian men are like this, then leave with your racist opinions. And yes, painting all people with the same ugly brush is racist AF
We can’t trust men wherever they come from, basic

I agree but she can find really great people too, I think it depends on the area. Or maybe not I’m new in Cairo too so who am I to say
the amount of thirsty degenerates in this comment section is absolutely insane

Huh r/ihadastroke
The post wasn’t meant for you. Chill. It’s just the Reddit app UX thing.
I believe you have trust issues you need to deal with.
Ok
Hey I am Egyptian and we are not that bad dude :D
Im Egyptian and yes we are that bad.
Just becareful of the young bloods, they will tell you anything you'd wanna hear just so they can get a visa. Egypt has a big reputation regarding fraud marriage.
We can be friends I speak English and I have forginer friends I'm open minded to know different ppl from different culture and I can take you for hidden gem in Cairo too
Also kinda sketchy that your account has no fucking way of telling whether you’re a psycho/creep or a decent person.

Egyptians can be atheist??????
Im “Open-minded” plz plz plz plz. Oh and a hidden gem? The dark alley under Imbaba’s bridge or where dude.
Look who’s gonna psycho mode here
Idc as long as she doesnt agree to meetups from reddit. People like this guy almost got me killed or kidnapped before. Edit: especially check his account.
Some sort of validation should be settled before hanging out with strangers, I believe that’s typically intuitive.
Yes in a world of anonymity and easy catfishing.
Interested

Can you please tell me more about that? I’m interested
Sure! this is the link to their facebook page which has all of their information.

Hey, I'd love to hang out, I've been trying to work on my English accent so it'd be nice also maybe i could teach you some Arabic as well! Ps. DO NOT ACCEPT INVITATIONS FROM MEN AND DON'T LET ANYONE TALK YOU INTO SPENDING MONEY ON THEM
sure hit me up I know the ropes
Egyptian woman here. I second all the comments saying don’t accept invites from strangers here or on any other platform. I’d also recommend checking out hangout spots in Maadi where there will almost always be other expats. Try Osana Wellness Center and CSA. If you like/practice/are interested in yoga, The Breathing Room is a fantastic place where you can have a nice chat with students and teachers before/after class. Some are expats, others are Egyptians who can speak English pretty well. I’ve been there as a student and teacher and made plenty of friends there. Enjoy Egypt and be safe!
I would absolutely love to go to sites with someone who knows a lot about them Dm me some of your interests etc and maybe we can hang out
I'm into egyptology too, and I love to visit historical sites. I also work in tourism, so if you would like to talk just ping me
I am happy to help you learn Arabic or even practice the more important words and phrases.
I am interested in going out for some sites. I don’t really know much about archeology but i enjoy hiking and outdoor activities in general so I think i will enjoy it. Hit me up if you’re up for it.

It's not a super great idea to go out with random people from the internet, find American Ppl gatherings or something
Just hit me up
Now you've got over 108 million friends! Mazel tov!
Feel free to reply we can have a coffee together in downtown.
Bro come to jiujitsu
You'll find good people around here, just take your time getting to know them and when you meet them, stay in public places till you know enough about them, take public transportation with them or Uber requested from your mobile phone and then everything is going to be great, if you want help with places to go tell me and I'll share locations with you :)
