Welcome to Egypt It’s a beautiful place, but let’s be honest, it can be a bit overwhelming at first. We know that many people arrive with a lot of mixed ideas about what Egypt is really like; sometimes the reality is much more welcoming than the stories, but sometimes the "hustle" can make it hard to see the true heart of the country. The spark for this idea actually came from our own international friends. We realized that almost everyone who visits us asks the exact same questions and has the same worries. We’ve spent so much time helping our friends navigate these things that we thought, why not just hang out at a cafe and offer that same hand to other travelers who are new here or anyone who simply wants to know more? We have traveled to almost every corner of Egypt, from the hidden corners of the Sinai to the oases in the Western Desert and the temples in the south. We’ve been through the same logistics you're facing, so we want to help you navigate them too. This is a 100% free, casual meetup. There are no tours to sell; we are just here to answer your questions. Whether it's clearing up those rumors you've heard about the culture, discussing what tourists usually expect versus what they actually find here, figuring out the best way to visit heritage sites without the stress, or teaching you a few Arabic words to help you on the street, we're happy to chat. We will be at a cafe in Downtown Cairo (exact spot to be confirmed shortly).
