I went just before Morsi was deposed (the week before poo poo went down, there were lines for gas and everything already). Fewer touts in Cairo. Pretty easy to do things on the spot relative to the rest of Africa. Transport infrastructure fairly reliable and very easy between the main tourist cities (Alexandria, Luxor, Cairo are all connected with trains, so no need for minibuses between them unless you want to travel faster than the schedlues allow). Transport within Cairo needs some preparation or a guide book (minibuses are difficult) if you go outside the metro's coverage area, but not impossible. Everything was super cheap with the EGP devaluation. In general the big cities in Egypt have a fairly good mix of being "local" while still having western amenities like supermarkets, transport and clean toilets in restaurants. Don't know about French, English knowledge wasn't great but not terrible either (in cities). People I met didn't all avoid Sinai. Dahab got great reviews.
