We are delighted to have Nader as our guest to talk about the fascinating, exotic country of Egypt! Having called the United States home since he was just a toddler, Nader still maintains a deep reverence and affinity to his Egyptian roots and is well-versed in the many aspects of traveling there. We begin with a review of the coastal town of El Gouna and the marvelous exotic aquatic life that thrives beneath the surface of the Red Sea. Warning though, don't wander into the desert unless you're well prepared, it's not for the faint-hearted!
Next we're off to Cairo. It's not just a massive, bustling city; it's a treasure trove of ancient history and culture that begs to be explored. We get lost in the vibrant labyrinth of the Khan el-Khalili Bazaar, where you'll find everything from intriguing trinkets to ornate mother of pearl inlaid boxes. Nader provides valuable tips for navigating the bazaar and making the most out of the Cairo museum scene. Don't forget to check out the enthralling sound and light show at the pyramids, and remember, check the language of the show before you go!
Finally, let's talk practicality. We offer invaluable travel pointers and present a sneak peek into Egyptian culture. From understanding the cost of labor and affordability of daily life, including the price of pomegranates, to Nile cruises and apartment rentals, we've got your back. Nader also shares golden nuggets of advice on dressing respectfully, embracing cultural diversity, and savoring the delectable Egyptian cuisine. Whether you're mapping out your next adventure or just inquisitive about this vibrant country, this episode is a must-listen, packed with firsthand experiences and insider tips.
