Mother of the World through your own eyes — places you can't miss, incredible food, and tips to come back with memories, not just photos
Egypt isn't just a trip — it's a complete life experience 🌍. From the moment you arrive and breathe Cairo's air, you feel like you're somewhere with a history stretching back thousands of years. The pyramids, the Nile, the bustling markets, and the warm-hearted people — everything here gives you a feeling you simply won't find anywhere else. And for the Saudi traveler specifically, Egypt is easy, close, and has everything from entertainment to history to sea 🏖️.
Top Places to See

Historic alleyways, centuries-old mosques, and an atmosphere you won't find anywhere else
Hurghada and Sharm El Sheikh
The best diving and water sports on the Red Sea — with near-perfect weather almost year-round

Practical Tips
Bargaining in the popular markets is completely normal — the first price is always for tourists, never accept it
Uber and Careem are available in Cairo and are far better than regular taxis in terms of price and comfort
Getting to the pyramids from Cairo is easy — but bring a water bottle and sunscreen, the heat is no joke
If you visit during Ramadan, the atmosphere is completely different and the night markets and restaurants have an incredible nightlife 🌙
The Egyptian pound is weak against the riyal — life will be very affordable, especially food and transport
Egypt isn't a trip you make once and that's it — it's a trip you come back to every so often, and each time you find something new 🌟. A history thousands of years old, a sea with some of the best coral reefs, and food that has you searching for recipes after you get home. Pack your bags!
