I had been hoping to visit Egypt for such a long time—it’s been on my Africa wishlist FOREVER! I’ve always been a history buff and since I was little, I dreamt of visiting the Nile and the pyramids. Though I will admit that I was a little hesitant due to concerns for safety and the experiences I’ve heard from other women.
I did my research and learned tons about the country and went in with an open mind.
And guess what? I met some of the friendliest locals you could ever imagine and got to see places I’ve only dreamed of! But like I said, I definitely did my research beforehand—here are my 10 tips for your first trip to Egypt!
I was glad I learned more about the history and culture before I went, otherwise I feel like some of the most interesting details might’ve gotten lost with the whirlwind of all that I was seeing. Let me tell you, Egypt did not disappoint (though I did almost get my drone confiscated—but that’s a story for another time!).
