Creator's Key Takeaways

egypt was a very challenging trip for us it was amazing but it was it was tough it was a hard one definitely

the nile cruise it showed us temples that we probably wouldn't have seen no no definitely because we made stops along the way

it was a really cool experience to walk through there and at that point we still thought it was just a friend that was kind of showing us around

we definitely won't ever forget but there was a little bit of struggle and it was definitely not one of the easier places that we've traveled

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Get a guide to go to a lot of these places in Egypt because it's a hard place to travel on your own
โœ“If you go to Egypt, definitely do a Nile cruise
โœ“Pre-arrange a convoy to Abu Simbel as it's required for safety
