Motels in Egypt have good security?


Travel Info
I would be going on a 3 weeks tour to Egypt and Dubai.
All travel arrangements taken care by my friend.

My question is, since I would be staying in a few motels during my travel. I am worried for the security of my luggages/travel sack (have yet to decide should I use a luggage bag or travel sack for this trip.)
Cos I couldn't possibly lug them during sightseeing and would have to leave them in the motels.
How secured would my stuff be?

Travel Tips
It depends on where you stay. I would ask the motel manager about this. When I went there last summer, my things were all there and I had no problems. You should, however, remember that Egypt is not America, and that there is a high possibility of having your things stolen. Do not bring anything that you won't need on your tour ,especialy any unneccesary technology. Also, leave your valuables, such as jewelry and overly expensive outfits and accesories at home. Take with you only the basics (clothes, hygenical products, etc). Keep your passport and all other personal information with you at all times. You'd have lots of problems if you lose anything like that.

If the motels have lockers for you to leave your things in, make use of them. Make sure you ask. That is where I left my stuff and as I already said, it was all fine. If you want to be extra careful, see if you can hide your luggage in a place where theives would not look in case they decide to break in.

Bottom Line: The most important thing to do is to refrain from taking valuable items along. Basics only. Remember, no one would really care how you look on your tour.


Be Careful, and Good Luck!

What hotels? I would be very careful with my stuff in Egypt; lots of thieves.
It really depends on where you are and what youre doing. When I went with a tourgroup to egypt after 9/11, we had undercover(and heavily armed) policemen following us around all day... and I think at night too. And most of the historical monuments are surrounded by Egyptian armed guards. So really... it depends...
It is very secure and no one can touch ur stuff. all motels in egypt dealing with forigners have a police gurd u have to know it is very secure and in the same time u should to be carful but i think thieves in usa more than in egypt and the security in egypt is more go ahead and be sure that no one will take ur bags
whitch motels are these i am a tour company and would love to know of any motels that you can find here in Egypt. as i can not, so therefor am un able to answer about security,
