Best Things to do When Visiting Egypt

5th December 20192nd December 2019Travel

I don't about you but I've always felt pulled to visit Egypt. How I haven't visited the country as yet is beyond me. Egypt is a country that spans the past right into the modern era. Situated in the northeast of Africa, and neighbouring Israel. Egypt is home to one of the world’s oldest and most evolved ancient civilizations.

But with history available for you to explore around so many corners, you will have an amazing and inspiring holiday. From what I've heard (one of my bffs is Egyptian), here are some of the best things to do when visiting Egypt.

Ways to Experience A Different Type of Holiday

15th November 201915th November 2019Travel

So if you find yourself in a bit of a conundrum of how to spend your vacation, and want to avoid the standard resort with a beach and hotel pool to enjoy, then here are ways to experience a different type of holiday.
