Egypt
Egypt At A Glance
Egypt is a top travel destination for history lovers.
However, the Nile River, Red Sea, Mount Sinai and the deserts will make nature enthusiasts fall in love with Egypt.
I spent one month travelling Egypt. I hiked Mount Sinai in Egypt, swam in the Read Sea in Dahab and Hurghada, roamed around Cairo, visited the pyramdis of Giza, went inside the Red Pyramid in Dahshur, shed tears while witnessing daily life of the people in Garbage City, got a henna tattoo in a Nubian village, sailed on a felluca on the Nile, flew in a hot air ballon over the Valley of the Kings, cruised the Nile from Aswan to Luxor, visited the spectacular Egyptian temples (Abu Simbel, Karnak, Kom-Ombo, Kalabsha, Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut, temples of Edfu, Philae …), toured the library of Alexandria, etc.
In my Egypt travel guide, you can read about my Mount Sinai hike, my visit to the all famous Egyptian landmarks, eating traditional Egyptian food, and more.
