“Experience above all expectations. We left Cairo for El Alamein, visited the World War II museum and had lunch in a non-tourist place. From there, we reached Siwa, staying in an ecolodge in the heart of the oasis. We discovered a part of authentic Egypt that we really wanted to visit, away from the classic tourist routes and Resorts.” - Reviewed at 2024-08-28
