Travel to Egypt (3-week itinerary + Tips)

From the classic pyramids to the coral-rich Red Sea, breathtaking temples, sailing on the Nile River and off-beat places like camel markets, hidden ruins, and lovely rural villages, Egypt has thousands and thousands of years of history to tell, show and amaze any traveler.

Egypt is, in fact, a major travel destination but, despite being one of the most visited countries in the world, traveling in Egypt is quite challenging, even more than in less touristic countries like Iran or Kyrgyzstan, as constantly arguing and fighting against not getting ripped-off by the locals is a real fact plus, outside of the main touristic areas, things are pretty wild, especially if you move around by public transportation.

My top recommendation when you travel to Egypt is that, in order to get away from the scammer Egyptians and meet some really cool locals, as well as beat the crowds, you must get off the beaten track.

Luckily for you, in this 1 to 3-week itinerary for traveling to Egypt, I reveal not only the most touristic places but also, plenty of cool spots which are rarely visited by regular tourists.
