Throwback... Visiting Egypt

At this time in 2017, I was in #Egypt on a solo trip.  I’d done my research and decided to go on a long weekend, during a holiday from my then new teaching job in my #Dubai.

I pulled an all-nighter to make the trip work so by the time I got to the #PyramidsofGiza, I wasn’t feeling too well.  But I had an amazing guide and after a good night of sleep, I had more than enough energy to deal with the #Egyptian heat and full days.  I went to the #CairoMuseum, saw so many artefacts, and even went on a #Nilecruise.

After being diagnosed with #thyroidcancer in 2011, I made two promises to myself for when I got better— travel and get published as a writer.

Thankfully, I’ve had opportunities to do both.

I'm so glad I took the chance, in spite of media portrayals, and went for it.  I experienced hospitality, beauty, and a trip of a lifetime.  As a solo woman traveller, always do your research and talk to people who have been there.

Traveling to Egypt solo in 2017 was a transformative experience for me. Despite the exhaustion from an all-nighter and the intense Egyptian heat, my time at the Pyramids of Giza, Cairo Museum, and on a Nile cruise was unforgettable. Overcoming my health challenges, I fulfilled my promises to travel and pursue writing. The warmth and hospitality I encountered reaffirmed the beauty of venturing beyond media portrayals. For anyone considering a similar journey, thorough research and local insights are invaluable. Embrace the adventure; it's worth every moment!
