The first night in Edfu, me and two other girls tryed to go for a walk in the evening on the main street but we had to go back to our boat after only 5 minutes as we were "harrassed" by the locals!! When we were walking those men were literally blocking our way and following us, many trying to sell us stuff or simply making comments, and furthermore there were absolutely no women in the streets!!
Personally being a woman I wouldn't like to live in Edfu! I suggest if you have to go out in Egypt always go with a group of people, especially at night..
