 Many travelers visit Egypt to fulfill their dream: imagine yourself encompassing the pyramids, the Child and the desert at a glance! For some, that first visit is their first great discovery of Egypt, but make no mistake that if you go, you will surely repeat.

Meet a welcoming town
 Egyptians are a welcoming and friendly people, who always have details and good words and who put hospitality first. Most Egyptians will proudly explain that they are descended from pharaohs and will tell you about the eternal Egypt of Oum Kalsoum and Naghuib Mahfouz around a good meal consisting of tasty mezze, delicious kebabs and juicy meloukhia (vegetable stew).

Learn about the history of the Copts
The Copts are the Christians of Egypt, present in the country for centuries. They are scattered throughout Egypt, but currently only represent 10% of the population. Its history has been written after the years in contact with the Egyptians, especially in the Misr al Qadima neighborhood in Cairo, in the monasteries of Wadi Natrum, south of Alexandria, and in Santa Catalina, on Mount Sinai.

Go out to conquer the desert
Following the example of Lawrence of Arabia, some undoubtedly prefer to explore the extraordinary nature of Egypt's western desert, which stretches from the Nile and the Mediterranean to Sudan and Libya. A sea of ​​sand that extends to the horizon and is home to 5 great oases: Siouah, Bahariya, Farafra, Dakhla and Kharga, without forgetting the rock formations of the White Desert (an unforgettable landscape full of peaks of extreme whiteness).
Take a cruise on the Nile
 The great Egyptian Nile is born from the confluence of the White Nile, whose source forms a stream in the hills of Burundi, and the Blue Nile, which comes from the high Ethiopian plateaus. The Nile is the longest river in the world (6,700 kilometers). One of the best ways to see this legendary river is to take a cruise: an experience as exciting as it is romantic, especially on board a dahabiya (2 masts) or a felucca.

Scuba diving in the Red Sea
The wealth of fauna and flora of the coral reefs is a true paradise for divers who are fond of sports travelers. A true underwater oasis that owes its richness to a particularly warm climate. There we can find more than a thousand species of fish, each one more unique: angelfish, parrotfish, flying rescues, clown fish ... The coastline of the cities of Hourghada and El-Gouna offers a beautiful panorama of the local marine life .

 Discover the mysteries of ancient Egypt
 Egypt, land of history and monuments declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco, attracts millions of visitors who come to discover its millennial past. You will be amazed by the richness of the archaeological sites of Egypt, in the kingdom of the pharaohs. The Sphinx of Giza, near Cairo, is a well-known example: it is carved in a calcareous outcrop, represents the pharaoh Khafre and majestically watches over the three pyramids of Cheops, Khafre and Menkaure.

When to travel to Egypt
Although Egypt has large differences in temperature depending on the region, in general I recommend avoiding summer, it is too hot and suffocating ... unless you are going to lie on the beach.
