How safe is Al Yaudi really?

No published homicide figure exists for Al Yaudi itself, so the national rate stands in: Egypt recorded 1.3 homicides per 100,000 people in 2017 - well below the global city median. The city itself may be safer or more dangerous than its country's average. Egypt is also one of the more equal societies in the dataset (Gini 28.5), and low inequality is the strongest structural predictor of low city violence in this data.

Al Yaudi also carries some conflict exposure: UCDP recorded 41 deaths from organized violence within 100 km across 8 events in 2022-2024 - a factor crime statistics alone would miss. The deadliest recorded locations in that radius were Qantara town, west of Bir al-Abd town, checkpoint of "the East Canal Water Lifting Station" (11 deaths), Gilbana village, Northern Sinai (11 deaths), Gilbana village, near Bir al-Abed in the North Sinai Governorate (5 deaths).

What the travel advisories say

The UK Foreign Office advises against all travel to parts of this country, naming 18 specific areas - listed above with the official advisory linked for exact boundaries and exceptions. Both advisories are country-level: no official source publishes verified neighborhood-level crime guidance for individual cities, which is why this page reports named areas only where an official source names them.

How the score works

Low homicide40%67

Peace25%59

Equality25%81

Development10%75

One fixed, calibrated mix for every city: 40% homicide · 25% peace · 25% equality · 10% HDI. Homicide and conflict deaths are measured outcomes; income inequality carries the structural share because it predicts real city violence far better than national income (which is shown above but scored at zero). Each factor maps to 0-100 against fixed anchors, missing data drops out and is never estimated, and cities with data behind less than half the weighting get “no data” instead of a score. For Al Yaudi that gives 69.5/100. Full methodology, anchors and sources →
