EGYPT
Egypt is a land where the veil between history and mystery is thin, and traveling through it feels like stepping into an ancient enigma. Beneath the scorching sands, whispers of lost tombs and hidden labyrinths linger, waiting to be uncovered by the daring traveller. Wanderers speak of desert paths that seem to shift with the wind, leading to forgotten temples where strange carvings depict figures not seen in any known civilization.
In the shadow of the pyramids, some claim to hear echoes of voices long silenced, and in the depths of the Nile’s currents, legends tell of hidden relics—treasures buried beneath the waters, guarded by ancient forces. To journey through Egypt is not just to visit a place but to dance on the edge of time, where every step could uncover secrets the pharaohs took to their graves.

I recommend this – it’s a great way to see the markets, the new and the old, and if you’re lucky, they’ll stop at a local sugarcane juice bar and Koshari street vendor. Both of these are Egyptian specialities and must be tried at least once! I
