Travel Notes ▼

We’ve visited Egypt three times between 2023 and 2025. Each trip revealed something different, not just in the places themselves, but in how they’re experienced.

Before we went

We arrived with concerns about safety and food, even packing muesli bars to keep things simple. In hindsight, much of that came from uncertainty rather than reality.

What made the biggest difference

Having a local team in place changed everything. With logistics taken care of, we were free to focus on the experience itself.

What we didn’t expect

We were surprised by how safe we felt. Despite early assumptions, our experience was consistently calm and comfortable. Interactions with locals could be persistent at times, but never threatening. Over time, we came to understand these encounters as part of the local economy, direct, but human.

What changed over three visits

Our first trip was fast paced, moving quickly between major sites. By the second and third visits, we slowed everything down, allowing time to explore, reflect, and film. That shift changed the experience completely.

What we’d do differently next time

We understand tipping very differently now. It’s a meaningful part of everyday life for many people we met. Next time, we’d come better prepared so those small interactions feel natural, not hesitant.
