How many here have been to Egypt?

Which were your favorite places when you visited Egypt?

Which places and sites do you recommend?

How did you perceive the people and how were you treated?

What was your overall impression of the country?

I have yet to go! I've been to Canada and parts of Latin America as well as various countries in Asia besides my birth nation. I haven't been to any part of Africa or Southwest Asia or South Asia (India) or Europe. They're all on my bucket-list God willing.

Egypt is on my bucket list too, now when the Covid pandemic hopefully is over.

Also other African countries I want to visit. I have friends in Nigeria and Kenya so they are also high up on the list.

I have been to China (I want to go there again, it is soo much to see there), but I have friends also in the Philippines so I would like to go there too.

^ Other than the Philippines, I've been to Taiwan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, and Japan. In the Americas, I've been to Canada, Mexico, Costa Rica, Guyana, and the Bahamas.

I would like to go to Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya, Egypt, and Israel-Palestine, Turkey, Greece, France, the UK, Germany, Denmark, and Poland. Any of these.

I’ve been to South Africa but not any other African country. Egypt, Kenya, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Nigeria, and Sudan would all be really cool to visit IMHO.

When it concerns Egypt I have seen a lot of Egyptian ancient objects in museums in Europe (Paris, London, Berlin, Copenhagen, Stockholm) but it would be great to see the great ancient monuments, like the sphinx, the pyramids, temples and similar in their natural or original surroundings. Also I think the new Grand Egyptian Museum must be something extra. Also a tour on the Nile is high on the wish list.

Someone here who has actually been to Egypt? Would be interesting to hear about your impression of the country.

Is there someone who have studied there or conducted research there?

Its high on my bucket list and I am close to going. Could be 2025 or 2026.

Already been to Africa 6 times(and 4 different African countries i.e Ethiopia, Tanzania, South Africa and Kenya gonna be 6 soon next year i.e Uganda and Rwanda), Latin America a bunch of times including Haiti. And recently Southeast Asia.

North Africa soon I plan on visiting and that includes Egypt.

Edit:

This belongs in either the Deshret or Kemet section.

Hope the political situation in Israel will calm down soon so it will be safe to go to Egypt, or Israel. Hope it does not escalate or spread to other countries.

No. I do want to go, but I also don't....As I've heard a lot of negative reviews do to the numerous scammers present there.

I always wanted to do a nile cruise until I heard this review so I am never going to go. What an expensive nightmare.
