Hi there! Here’s an itinerary for Egypt if you want to combine beach time, snorkeling/diving, and cultural visits. Hurghada is a great base for getting your PADI certification or just snorkeling—but that’s not all! There are plenty of other activities to do, and you’ll find all the details in this article: https://worldseenbymathilde.blogspot.com/2024/10/hurghada-le-paradis-de-la-plongee-egypte.html After that, you can head to Luxor by minibus from Hurghada. Luxor is a cultural gem and the perfect spot for a hot-air balloon ride. I’ve covered all the sights and info in this article: https://worldseenbymathilde.blogspot.com/2024/10/louxor-en-2-jours-avec-un-guide-prive.html Finally, take a flight to Cairo to visit the famous pyramids. Here’s an article to help you plan your stay in this massive city: https://worldseenbymathilde.blogspot.com/2024/10/le-caire-que-visiter-en-1-jour-et-demi.html

The Siwa Oasis is worth the effort—it takes nine hours by car from Cairo to get there. But once you arrive, it's pure magic! I share my trip on my personal blog (not sponsored)

A warning to women traveling alone around the world. August 2024 I was alone in Egypt and experienced some not-so-pleasant things. Here’s a link to my TIPS so you don’t find yourself in the same situation I did during your trip (local resident entering my hotel room to kiss me... Dive guide who takes you underwater for 45 minutes and acts suspicious, does weird things... Scams... Street harassment...).

Too often, people only spend a day or two in Cairo. I stayed for five days and wasn’t bored at all. I’m sharing my trip on my personal blog, hoping it might inspire you!

Contrary to popular belief, it’s really easy to travel independently in Egypt thanks to a well-developed tourist infrastructure. I’ll share my tips from my trips to Egypt in a post on my blog.
