Egypt: So Much More Than We Expected
Cairo is loud, vibrant, and alive in every way: car horns, the call to prayer, bakeries pulling out fresh pastries all day long. We cruised the Nile and ate falafel that changed our lives. Going onto the Giza Plateau to see the pyramids up close and going inside the Great Pyramid of Khufu was surreal. I felt the weight of 5,000 years of history pressing in. We finished off our time in Cairo at the brand new Grand Egyptian Museum, with its amazing collection of gold artifacts from King Tut's tomb and towering ancient sculptures. I had expectations of what Egypt would be and it's even better than I hoped. Don’t miss the adventure - our latest video and blog post takes you right into the heart of Cairo & Giza!

Hello!
We're Chris and Emilie, and we slow travel around the world. We rent apartments in big cities, spend time in rural areas, hike, and camp - all with a goal of experiencing everyday life in new places. We plan our own schedule, keep costs low, and stay flexible, so if we enjoy a place, we can stay longer.
