My aim was to visit at least 100 countries, and with Brazil, I finally did it. I'm now loitering at 104. Or is it 105, I lose count...
Unlike a lot of fellow travellers, I tend to only dip my feet into a country, quite often only staying a day or two before heading off somewhere else.
Country numbers 54 and 55 were my first trips alone - something I never thought I'd do.
In 2013 I published an e-book entitled The Red Quest, detailing my mission to visit each and every country of the former Soviet Union. Along the way I sa... full info
Egypt is one of the most preferable countries for me because of its nice weather and the huge amount of monuments that one can visit there.

your tour Hi having read about your tour of Cairo and what you thought about it I felt I had to make a comment. I have been living in Cairo now for 5 years and work closely with my husband taking tours around our beautiful city. It is normal here to find that the taxi drivers want to take you to the papyrus factories, they feel you might be interested to see howit is made, there is no pressure to sell you anything, you missed a treat.
We always take our guests around the pyramids either by horse or camel because we feel that you can experience the true majesty of the only surviving wonder by this way.
I agree with you about the museum, but hopefully when the new one is completed it ill be more organised and more accessible to the growing number of tourists who visit.
I hope that you will visit us again and that you took away with you not just the bad memories but the good ones too, and remember, not all Egyptian men leer, they just appreciate women.
Maybe there was a misunderstanding in my blog about Cairo - but I can assure you we did enjoy our time in the city, and going around the Pyramids on horseback was actually the highlight of the trip! Thanks for the comment.
