Egypt: Cairo, the Nile & Abu Simbel

Описание: Egypt is often defined by one image — the pyramids. But there is so much more to this extraordinary country than Cairo alone.

In this episode of Chasing Travel Beauty, I take you on a deeper journey through Egypt beyond the pyramids, sharing my experience across three unforgettable regions: Cairo, Abu Simbel & Aswan, and a Nile River cruise.

I also share an important perspective up front: while Egypt is an incredible destination, it’s a place I personally recommend experiencing with a tour group or trusted travel companions, rather than as a fully independent solo trip.

In this video, you’ll experience:
• Cairo and the iconic Pyramids of Giza
• Staying at the Marriott Mena House at the base of the pyramids
• The Egyptian Museum and the Red Pyramid
• Dining with views at the Nine Pyramids Lounge
• A nighttime visit inside one of the pyramids
• Abu Simbel and the monumental statues of King Ramesses II
• The incredible story of how Abu Simbel was dismantled and rebuilt to escape rising waters
• Aswan and the warmth, culture, and hospitality of the Nubian people
• A Nile River cruise aboard Le Fayan, with stops at Kom Ombo, Edfu, Karnak Temple, and the Valley of the Kings

Along the way, I reflect on how travel — much like life — sometimes requires us to make a move when something threatens our peace or growth.

Egypt is more than a bucket-list destination. It’s layered, powerful, and deeply moving — and each stop along the journey adds meaning to the experience.

I’d love to hear from you.
Would Egypt be on your travel list? And would you visit solo, with a group, or on a guided tour?
