Have you ever heard of Chrystal Hill or the White desert? THEre ARE indescribably beautiful Places Around EGYPT that you should not Miss!
Near and far - spontaneous and with some time to plan ahead: We can find a completely unexpected nature experience in Egypt and around Cairo for you.
- Very close to Cairo is the Wadi Degla Protecorate - a great place for hiking.
- Day trips from Cairo include the Fayoum Oasis and its surrounding sites, offering activities like pottery, horseback riding, mild climbing, sand surfing, and more. There are also boutique hideouts perfect for a tranquil desert oasis experience.
- City trips include, of course, Alexandria with its many historic sites and cultural treasures
- With two days at your disposal, it’s worth visiting the White and Black Deserts and the Crystal Mountain—on a Bedouin safari with jeep rides, traditional food, tents, and music. Truly breathtaking.
- Along the way, you’ll also have the chance to visit healing hot springs and mineral-rich waters.
- A longer journey, depending on your starting point, includes Luxor and Aswan—known for their beautiful boat trips, ancient sites, and incredible nature.
- For snorkeling, boat trips, quad rides, and long stretches of white sandy beaches, you can visit Hurghada or other smaller spots along the Red Sea coast (I know a few hidden gems).
- The Sahel (the name for Egypt’s North Coast) offers a truly luxurious sea experience—nothing compares to it
- Dahab, the small hippie village on the Sinai Peninsula, is an incredible destination for divers and snorkelers. If you’ve never tried either, it’s the perfect place to begin your adventure. Highly recommended.
- For hiking, hidden oases in rocky deserts, and stunning blue mountain lakes, head to the St. Catherine Monastery and its surrounding areas.
- One of the most impressive oases is Siwa Oasis, famous for its incredible salty ponds where you can float effortlessly. There’s a lot of captivating footage from this place. Siwa also boasts the best dates in the country, and while it’s not the easiest destination to reach, it’s well worth the journey.
