Travel to Egypt, June 2024 I’ve seen some comments on travel to Egypt here, so I wanted to comment on my recent experience traveling there in June 2024. TLDR; we had a great time overall, saw amazing sites, and using a small group guided tour worked very well for us! We are a reasonably fit couple in our 50s and took this trip to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary….

My euro trip five years ago This was truly an amazing experience. Most of my time was spent in Toulouse, which, frankly, wasn’t that exciting, but then I did two days in London, followed by two in Paris. Seeing the real Eiffel Tower pop out from behind the buildings on the train ride into the city was amazing. I was also really lucky to find a relatively cheap Airbnb just …

But now I’m thinking it’s a bit too rushed? Would it be better to just spend the entire 4 days in…

Or could bus to La Compostella de Santiago (apologies if I misspel…
