Egypt has one of the world's highest rates of road accidents. Adding
insult to injury, Egypt's highways are not up to international standards,
though officials are making efforts to improve these conditions.
Driving is very dangerous at roads of Upper Egypt and Delta because
they are usually go along canals. Also very dangerous are the roads
of Sinai because of the rugged terrain there and the difficulty to
monitor roads. In some of the roads, drivers can be interrupted by
wild animals including
camels, so care should be observed.
Should you decide to hire or get in shared taxis -usually a Peugeot-
it is recommended to select a driver who looks wise and relatively
old, as younger drivers are usually those who have the guts to break
speed limits so as to make more work cycles in the shortest time possible.
