To Europeans, Middle Eastern countries often offer mixed feelings. Egypt amplifies these impressions.
On the one hand, there are the chaotic cities, especially Cairo, full of cars running in a deafening traffic of horns, vendors from all sides who stubbornly try to sell anything, and who ask for tips for every reason; poverty, lived with dignity and honesty, but which is very visible to us Europeans.
On the other hand, however, 5000 years of history, precursors of civilization, including the Greek one, stand out overwhelmingly in every corner.
From the majestic Pyramids of Giza to the towering temples of Luxor or Abu Simbel, each site visited is a dive into the grandeur of their civilization. And ours too, because, whether we like it or not, we too come from there.
