Egypt

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Egypt is a transcontinental country in Northeast Africa, bordered by the Mediterranean Sea to the north and the Red Sea to the east, and home to one of the world's oldest and most iconic civilisations. It is best known for the Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, the temples of Luxor and Karnak, and the treasures of the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. The Nile River remains central to Egyptian life, and cruising it between Luxor and Aswan is a classic travel experience. Travellers are drawn by world-class diving in the Red Sea, ancient history, vibrant bazaars like Cairo's Khan el-Khalili, and a distinctive blend of Pharaonic, Islamic, and modern culture.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Egypt yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Find the most locally-hated tourist trap and go anyway, unironically, in a costume."
