42 Photos to Inspire You to Visit Egypt

I first travelled to Egypt back in August 2019 for a family wedding in Cairo. We then went on to explore Dahab which is a small, hippy coastal town, an hour’s drive from Sharm El Sheikh. I was instantly blown away by the country’s history, architecture, and natural beauty.
Cairo is a chaotic but vibrant city. I won’t lie and say that the country is the perfect holiday destination for all types of tourists, however with the right planning and preparation, you can have a trip of a lifetime – just like I did! At first you’ll notice that the buildings and infrastructure aren’t in the best shape, but I quickly learned that the Egyptian people are incredibly welcoming and humble.
I loved learning about the Ancient Egyptians at school so I was in total awe after seeing the Egyptian Museum and Great Pyramids for the first time. It was very difficult to be scared or worried about the surroundings after being captivated by the history.
I tried to capture the reality but also the natural beauty of the country which isn’t commonly talked about. We dived in the Red Sea which is still raw and beautiful – an experience I will never forget. I hope my photos inspire you to visit this incredible country, enjoy!
