Trip Report: Solo Female Traveller to Jordan (Solo) and Egypt (with Guides) Oct 2024 Hi everyone, I finished my solo female trip to Jordan and Egypt (and one day in Istanbul) from Oct 10 – 25, 2024 and had a great time! I know Egypt has got a really bad rep and tourism in Jordan has been severely affected by the conflicts in the region. So I just want to give some first hand experience in those two countries. I’m pretty rambly b…

Egypt Sees Its Refugees as a Scapegoat and an Opportunity Palestinians, Sudanese and Syrians fleeing war have found a home in the country. But Cairo says newcomers are straining resources and is seeking financial help from the West.

Honest Egypt Travel Review So, after reading a ton about Egypt and hearing mixed stories from friends (some horror stories online too), we decided to go in with an open mind. We travel a lot and figured we could handle whatever came our way. No guides, no pre-booked tickets—just winging it and seeing where the trip took us. Here’s how it went: First Impressions: Egypt is …

Egypt is probably posted all too often here, but here are the pics I took of my trip there! Overall, I loved the trip! I heard that people often have bad experiences visiting, but I personally didn’t experience that at all. I spoke to all the sellers and street vendors warmly and clearly, and they left me alone. Some things I noticed: Cairo is a tragic city because you could tell it was once gorgeous, but has been relegated to ruin b…

Egypt: morning buses to Bahariya/Bawiti? Hi, I’m not sure if this question is better here or in the Egypt sub. I want to get a morning bus on a Tuesday to Bahariya directly after my international flight. Was hoping to depart at 7 or 8 AM. I’m seeing conflicting info through Wikitravel and Bookaway and a tourist agency’s website, saying either morning buses are not daily, or they are on…

Egypt Tour – English and Mandarin I was wondering if anyone has used tour guides in Egypt that speak both Mandarin and English? My parents don’t speak any Mandarin and my partners parents don’t speak English. Was hoping to find a tour guide/company that can operate in both languages. None of us speak Arabic either unfortunately. submitted by /u/nigelangelo

Luxor (Egypt) Using a burner account to share my experience. Past weekend, I decided to travel to Luxor from our holiday in Hurghada with my girlfriend since it was a long time dream of us to visit the capital of ancient Egypt (we’re both into history). To give you an idea on our background, we’re both beginning of our 30s and have travelled to about 40+ coun…

My Time at Egypt during September I, 28M from India, visited the country of Egypt last September and turned out to be one of the best trips I ever had. It was like dream come true moments where you got to see ancient structures not in documentaries/videos but with my own eyes and feeling the history right before me. I have seen many videos and documentaries on Egypt and was on m…

Egypt on film! I got to visit Egypt for the first time in October with my husband who is originally from there. Our itinerary was 2 days Cairo, 5 days Nile cruise from Luxor to Aswan, 4 days back in Cairo with husband’s family + day trip to Alexandria, then finishing off with 3 days Sharm El-Sheikh. Overall we had a great time and seeing these sites in person …

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….

Should you do Egypt yourself or with a company? Nile cruise or land tours and for how long? My Egypt trip report and how it was like: If you don’t want to go through the whole report here is the summery: -Plan Egypt pretty in advance not last min. -Navigating the county by yourself is not easy (at least for us and whoever wants to enjoy a stress free holiday). -Long day tours are not the best in the summer (which we avoided), cash is king (you can use cards at hotels and big r…

Taking a Trip to Egypt but my heat tolerance is not that good…WHAT SHOULD I DO? A few months ago I found a very nice deal to go to Cairo, Egypt for 7 days 400$ per person in an inclusive hotel. At this price, they said (they were an agency but I don’t want to promote) everything was included, I mean every trip that I am going to have outside Cairo is already paid for and also all the historical monuments that I am going to …
