What I Can Share with Hosts

As an adventure enthusiast and avid traveler of Egypt, I've explored all 4 corners of this incredible and lively country. It is a beautiful with much to see, there are many layers of culture, heritage, food, modern, classic you name it. I've set out to search for all the hidden gems, now I want to share this knowledge with the world and travelers so they can see the real and true beautiful Egypt. 💫

I can offer pleasant company if my schedule allows, maybe take you for a quick tour of Downtown Cairo.🤗

Here's a quick guide I made for Egypt! 😎

Welcome to Egypt! Land of wonders, culture, and adventure! Whether you want to see the ancient pyramids, cruise the Nile, or enjoy the sun and sea, Egypt has something for everyone.😎

Here are some tips and recommendations to make your trip unforgettable: 💫

**Cairo**: The capital city is a must-see for its historic and cultural attractions. Stay in Downtown Tahrir, a walkable area with plenty of heritage, entertainment options where you can walk around and enjoy the old destrict with plenty of local restaurants and bars. Must do is a felluca (small sailboat) in the Nile any time of day but best at sunset to see Cairo from a charming lens :)

Don't miss the Pyramids of Giza, there are many new and cool museums around Cairo and Alexandria, and the lively markets and mosques. For more inspiration, check out this Instagram page with Egypt's vibrant highlights.

Just Google MuseumsinEgypt and choose from 47 museums to visit! Top in my opinion are Grand Egyptian Museum, National Museum of Egyptian Civilization, Bibliotheca De Alexandria

**Hurgada**: This city on the Red Sea coast is popular for its resorts and beaches, but it doesn't have much else to offer. If you want to avoid the crowds and enjoy a more scenic and relaxing stay, head to El Gouna or Soma Bay, two beautiful resort towns north and south of Hurgada, respectively.

**Luxor and Aswan**: These two cities on the Nile are the best places to explore the ancient history and temples of Egypt. Luxor is the world's largest open-air museum, with attractions like the Valley of the Kings, Karnak Temple, and Luxor Temple. Aswan is a charming city with natural beauty and islands in the Nile, where you can visit the impressive Abu Simbel Temple and experience the Nubian culture. For a comfortable and convenient way to travel between the two cities, book a three-day Nile cruise and enjoy the views and activities along the way.

**Siwa**: This oasis in the western desert is a hidden gem for those who love nature, adventure, and culture. Siwa is known for its unique architecture, hot springs, salt lakes, and palm groves. It is also home to the Berber people, who have their own language and traditions. To get to Siwa, you need to take a 10-hour bus ride from Cairo (there is no plane service). To make the most of your stay, choose a hotel in Shali downtown, where you can easily access the main attractions. A good option is Ghaliet, a cozy and eco-friendly hotel. You can find more information and book your room here.

**Telecom operators**: There are four telecom operators in Egypt: Vodafone, Orange, Etisalat, and WE. They all offer good coverage and services, but Vodafone and Orange have better customer service. You can buy a SIM card at the airport or any mobile shop.
