This is a remade. I erased by mistake. After a long drive from Luxor, we got to Hurghada, a resort town on Egypt’s Red Sea shore. The first impression of Hurghada is like a typical Caribbean resort town but in the middle of the desert. After checking in and getting our room at the hotel, Movenpick…

The Key of Life
I had bought, during my trip to Egypt, a couple of souvenirs, one of which was “The Key of Life.” I’m sure that many of you know about it better than I do, but for those who don’t, I will explain it a little. “The Key of Life” is one of the most meaningful symbols of ancient Egypt. It is also called “The Key of the…
Egypt, Unforgettable Trip: Hot air balloon flight.
Before leaving to Hurghada, we had one last activity to do in Luxor: a hot air balloon ride. The driver from the hot air balloon company picked us up at 3 a.m. On the way to the place, he picked up more travelers. Then, he took us to a pier from which we boarded a small boat…

Egypt, an Unforgettable Trip: Abu Simbel
Second day in Egypt: After an exhausting first day, during which we visited different sites in Cairo, we went to the hotel to shower, eat, and pack our belongings because we had an early flight to the southern city of Aswan. A call from the front desk woke us up. They called to let us know that it was…
Egypt an Unforgettable Trip
When I said that I was going to Egypt, no one believed it. People believe everything that they see on TV, so they thought that I was going to get kidnapped as soon as I arrive. It did not concern me what people said about that country. Since my budget was limited, we started planning 11 months before the…
