History and Wildlife Egypt’s
heritage has always been about its history – Ancient Egyptians, their pyramids,
temples and tombs. But Egypt’s wildlife is just as remarkable, and even more

Assalamu Alaikum. We finally escaped the harshest winter in England for years on the 20th Jan for Luxor, Egypt - and we landed in heat!! Egypt was also the first country that we both looked like tourists unlike just Andrew in the last 5 months. ... Read more >

This entry almost deserves the title Death on the Nile. We were warned “good places are difficult to come by in Cairo” but we didn't expect this to be so true and extend to Luxor as well. We did grapple some highlights though to ensure we had covered ... Read more >

Egypt is so crazy! We just finished a 5-day
stay in Cairo. In that time I’ve seen the Great Pyramids of Giza, King
Tut’s gorgeous golden mask, and some shockingly well-preserved mummies! In
addition to the big sights, we’ve been lucky enough ... Read more >

Deja Vu I
keep seeing the same backpackers. Now admittedly I sometimes appear to be

You would have thought you could count on Cairo being hot, but it was a cool 15 degrees. Cryptic murmur of Egyptian Arabic all round. Walking head down and accompanied front, side and back by the implicit mass of humanity - caps, beards, skirts, sleeves, ... Read more >

Like many a morning I walked through 26 July-street which is perhaps the most important road in Cairo. Always occupied with traffic as it connects east with west and north with south. ‘A fairly peculiar place, never really day nor night’, I fancied. The ... Read more >

Egypt! It feels so incredible to wear my hair down, to sit and not be sweating or sticky. It’s definitely weird to look around and only see orange, though. Sand, sun, buildings, there’s no getting away from it. Dust and dirt everywhere. The driving ... Read more >
