Traveling to Egypt is a journey into a treasure trove of ancient wonders and vibrant culture. As the cradle of one of the world’s oldest civilizations, Egypt invites visitors to explore its rich history, marked by the mystique of the Pharaohs and monumental sights like the Great Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx. Beyond these iconic symbols, the bustling streets of Cairo offer a tapestry of sounds, sights, and smells, with lively bazaars such as Khan el-Khalili, where bargaining is an art form. A cruise down the Nile River provides a serene passage through time, showcasing lush riverbanks dotted with temples, tombs, and ruins, including the majestic Valley of the Kings. Egypt’s Red Sea coast is a paradise for divers and snorkelers, boasting crystal-clear waters, vibrant coral reefs, and a colorful array of marine life. The Egyptian cuisine, with its flavorful mezze, hearty stews, and sweet baklava, tells its own story of cultural confluence and tradition.
Egypt for me was one of my most memorable tours of my 80+ countries, and I look back on it extremely fondly. I went with GoBus, who doesn’t appear to be around any more but they were the bargain subsidiary of On The Go tours, if anyone is looking for a recommendation. I have no commercial affiliation with them.
