Insects in Egypt?

Travel بلاد برا

Okay so this may seem absurd, but I'm going to be travelling across Egypt for some months and I'm really worried about... cockroaches (I just can't deal with them, it's serious) I had the fantasy that maybe because in the desert it gets a bit cold at night, so there wouldn't be many cockroaches at night... I'll be staying in different Airbnbs, in Cairo, Luxor, Sharm el sheikh, Alexandria, etc etc. Could you give me some advice? What to expect? How to defend myself *tiny scream*

I'm a woman and I'm travelling by myself, I don't worry about anything else but this hahaha
