As long as you avoid the obvious trouble spots you should have a great time. We always "do our own thing" and just wander around, and have never had any problems.
In Alexandria we were mobbed by dozens of school kids in one of the forts - a bit alarming seeing them rushing towards us, but they just wanted us to photograph them.
Friends of ours cancel any bookings at the first hint of unrest, even if it is hundreds of miles from where they were going, but that is what they are comfortable with.
Just be sensible and leave ALL valuables behind - jewellery, flashy watch and camera etc. - and keep your money and credit card under close watch. Like anywhere, there are opportunists around.
