After I met a well educated Nigerian fellow earlier this year who described how he studied in Cairo and was raped by a gang of Egyptians who pulled a knife on him before entering the subway, I concluded it probably wasn't worth it to visit. Full disclosure because interesting: He claimed to have returned a couple of days later, preparing by filling his backpack full of stones as a defense mechanism, and killed one of them when they attempted to attack him again. I didn't doubt the story, because he really had no reason to impress anyone, didn't seem the type, seemed genuinely shaken by the memory, and the subject of Egypt came up tangentially.
