Can females drink in Egypt?
Going out. European-style bars and restaurants serving alcohol are fine for solo women to drink in. Egypt's baladi (local) bars are best avoided if you're by yourself. These spit-and-sawdust drinking dens are often frequented by a clientele who are there to get drunk, not just have a few beers.
