Anyone been to Egypt in the last couple of years

Check trip advisoreport forum on egypt.

Went at the end of 2015/beginning of 2016. Didn't stay too long. Just did the pyramids and other touristy things for a day or so before we headed out for a safari. I Really enjoyed it. We stayed at the Le Méridien Cairo Airport because it is connected to the terminal. Also, we went not long after that plane crash due to the bomb at the end of 2015, so figured things were safer near the airport because of the extra security. When we went, they were hurting badly for tourism because of everything that had been happening. I scheduled a tour of all the areas which was great. Picked us up from the hotel and really helped us understand everything. Also, she helped us deal with all the people who try to sell you stuff. Everyone we met, though, was super nice and happy to have us there. There was certainly trash and dirty parts, but I didn't think it was a ton more than other areas I have been. It isn't great, but not that big of a deal. According to our guide, we went during what was usually a high time for them and there was basically no one at the pyramids and sphinx. Made for great pictures and experience. I wouldn't be worried about safety as long as you are smart about everything. I also recommended spending the extra and having a guide for what you do. They obviously know everything well and can help you out besides actually telling you about what you're doing/looking at. We stayed in Cairo area because the US embassy recommended it. Idk if that recommendation has changed, but obviously pay attention to that.
