Land of the Pharaohs- Egypt has the potential to overwhelm its visitors. Expect history, dating back to a time that becomes unfathomable; expect the sun, in the summer it can be gruelling to be outdoors so it's always advisable to travel in milder months. But what you cannot expect is to be bored with the history lessons. Expect a culture so lively that makes you wonder why you have not been here before or heard enough about. Spend your days soaking in history and your evenings smoking sheesha, sipping tea and playing gammon on the streets of this very welcoming country.
