I am not talking about public transportation. That is safe in most places during the day. I actually wouldn't travel at night in major city in the world. My point was that there is more security on places like the pyramid and sphinx because the economic importance of tourism, not necessarily in hotels or resort areas. The information I got is from the state deparment's travel information. They have warnings about various dangers to tourists in pretty much every country.

It's nothing personal that I have against Egypt, it"s just that while murder and rape are low, petty theft is common. You mention children in the streets, but thieves are selective about their targets and are more likely to attack a westerner who is more likely to have something of value. Call it an unwritten Third-World rule. Anti-Christian crimes do happen.
