Egypt Travel Guide: 15,808 reviews and 39,599 photos

I was in Egypt for 2 months, travelling around & loved every minute of it (well very nearly).

The country is so interesting & beautiful as are the people. Such a wonderful contrast of cultures here from the fascinating Nubians of the south to the to the westernised people of Cairo in the north, both I found to be extremely welcoming and friendly.
I can not wait to go on the Nile again in a Felucca. So Peaceful ...............

I have finally gotten around to re-doing my Egypt Pages from when VT changed.

Have a look (~_~)

Two months backpacking must have been a lot of fun :) ... sneaky swims, stable lunches, getting locked up for baksheesh, mummy dreams ... wonderfully spirited page Nicola :)))

you put me to shame. Your pages are brilliant; yet I've lived here 5 years and haven't seen much more than you, in fact maybe less.

How I envy you - two whole months backpacking around Egypt. I was in Cairo for three days many years ago, on a tour by bus from Israel. Great memories.
