A Mystery of the Ka How many pyramids are there in Egypt? Ask most travellers and the answer will probably be: Giza. Egypt has more than 100 known pyramids! But Egypt has more than 100 known pyramids—and hidden far beyond the famous monuments of Cairo is a group of seven tiny step pyramids that has puzzled Egyptologists for more than a century. They stretch along the Nile, from Seila in the north to Elephantine near Aswan in the south. They have no magnificent burial chambers

Everything You Need to Know Before Your Trip Egypt is more than a place you visit. It is a story you step into. At sunrise, the first light moves across the Pyramids of Giza. Cairo wakes behind them, the Nile continues its ancient journey, and somewhere in the distance a city of more than 20 million people begins another ordinary morning beside monuments that have survived for thousands of years. This is what makes Egypt travel so extraordinary. Your Egyptian adventure starts

On a blazing August day in Cairo, I met a father and daughter whose story reminded me that Egypt’s greatest treasures are not always made of gold. Cairo was shimmering in the summer heat when Acacia and Jon arrived for a single day. This time, at 13, she was old enough to create memories of her own. Acacia had visited Egypt once before, as a baby travelling with her parents. She remembers none of it. At the Pyramids of Giza, Jon rode a horse beside his daughter beneath the fi

At just 6 years old, Remi from North America explored Egypt with the curiosity of a true young archaeologist, while his little sister, Isabella (3), filled every stop with smiles and wonder. After hearing the story of Tutankhamun, they proudly became Remi Ankh Amun and Isabella Sen Amun, taking home a commemorative Tutankhamun medal marking the 100th anniversary of the discovery of the young king's tomb. Their imagination, laughter, and endless questions reminded us that the

Every Great Journey Begins with a Story Imagine standing before the Great Pyramid as the first rays of sunlight touch its limestone blocks. Around you, cameras click, voices echo, and hundreds of visitors admire one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

Because the most unforgettable part of Egypt isn't simply

What if the next cat you meet was once considered a messenger from the gods? What if the next cat you meet was once considered a messenger from the gods? Long before travelers came to admire the Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, or the Grand Egyptian Museum, the people of Ancient Egypt believed that cats carried something far more valuable than good luck—they carried the protection of Bastet, one of the most beloved goddesses in Egyptian mythology. To the ancient Egyptians, a cat

Imagine this... A candle flickers inside a silent embalming chamber. The scent of cedar oil and incense fills the air. A priest wearing the sacred mask of Anubis kneels beside the body. The final linen bandage is wrapped. Then... Everything stops. The Final Whisper Before Eternity For the ancient Egyptians, this was the most dangerous moment of all. They believed the deceased stood between two worlds—no longer among the living, yet not fully accepted into the afterlife. Witho

For centuries, Egypt's ancient monuments have fascinated archaeologists, historians, travelers, and spiritual seekers. From the Great Pyramid of Giza to the underground tunnels of Saqqara, these remarkable landmarks continue to spark one compelling question: Do Egypt's ancient monuments possess positive energy?

For nearly a century, the Sabu Disc has puzzled archaeologists, historians, and ancient technology enthusiasts alike. Discovered in a 5,000-year-old Egyptian tomb, this unusual stone artifact has inspired countless theories—from a ceremonial vessel to a lost piece of advanced engineering. Now, a new scientific interpretation offers a fascinating possibility: what if the Sabu Disc was actually an early sundial used to measure time? Could this mysterious object reveal that the

The claim that Kemet means "the land of Black people" raises several questions that deserve careful examination. If ancient Egypt had been the homeland of a single displaced population, one would expect to find the same monumental architecture, engineering techniques, and scientific traditions reproduced elsewhere after their departure. Yet nowhere else in Africa do we find civilizations that replicated the pyramids, massive stone temples, or the sophisticated engineering ach

Generally, Egypt is safe for visitors, and that includes female solo travelers. However, female solo travelers most probably will encounter problems such as scams, persistent vendors, catcalling, or at least staring. What should you do if you travel alone? Start by choosing your accommodation place where you feel safer. Red sea resorts (like Sharm el-Sheikh and Hurghada) are the safest, tourist-friendly and relaxing.
