To improve comfort, we hired a tour guide. The experience was great. The tour guide helped us fend off salespeople. We chartered a car because we didn't want to wait for a car. It was too hot and we didn't want to be bothered. The driver followed us wherever we went, which was very convenient.
Egypt is generally safe. Almost all hotels require security checks. In addition to swiping a card to take the elevator in Cairo hotels, you also need to swipe a card on the floor where your room is located. It's very safe. Most of the things people say online are about locals temporarily raising prices. Just buy from reliable people.
