We know Egypt for its pyramids and pharaohs, but there’s even more magic to discover! We’re experts on all things Egypt, and we’re here to show you the bustling bazaars, the lively music, and the traditions that make this country so special.

Bazaar Adventures: It’s Not Just About Shopping

Egyptian bazaars are like jumping into a colorful movie! They are where locals shop, chat, and have a good laugh while haggling over prices. Haggling isn’t about being sneaky; it’s part of the fun. Remember: start with a low (but fair) price, smile, and don’t be afraid to walk away if you need to.

Let the Music Move You

From the twangy strings of an oud to the rhythmic beat of a tabla drum, Egyptian music has a soul of its own. Catch a performance at a cultural center, enjoy a dinner cruise with live musicians, or be on the lookout for local shows – it’s the best way to experience the real Egypt. Don’t forget about dance! Belly dancing and the swirling Tanoura dancers are truly mesmerizing.
