Security in Egypt Is Different from Latin America
In many Latin American countries, such as Brazil, Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, and Argentina, it is common to see businessmen, celebrities, and politicians using armored cars for security reasons. The fear of robberies, kidnappings, assaults, and shootings is part of the reality in major cities across these countries, leading many people to invest in armored vehicles as a form of protection. The presence of this type of car has become relatively normal on the streets.
In Egypt, Only the Military and Authorities Use Armored Vehicles
In Egypt, the situation is completely different. Armored cars practically do not exist in the civilian market and are not part of everyday life for the population. Armored vehicles are mainly used by the military, security forces, and certain government authorities. An ordinary citizen, regardless of social, political, or financial status, normally does not have authorization or need to use this type of vehicle. This is because the country has very strict security control and very low rates of violent street crime.
A Country Where Robberies and Shootings Are Not Part of Everyday Life
The absence of armored cars in Egypt also reflects the sense of security in everyday life. Unlike some Latin American cities, situations such as mass robberies, armed assaults, and street shootings are not part of the daily routine of the Egyptian population. Tourists and locals usually move around the cities normally, visiting cafés, markets, and tourist areas without constant concern about urban violence. This is why the need for armored cars simply does not exist in the country’s daily life.
