Egypt has more than 7,000 years of history and civilization. It is the home to one of the eight wonders of the world, and the fact that it is considered the origin of civilization makes it fascinating enough to warrant a visit by millions from all over the world. In addition to the breathtaking beauty of its deserts, pyramids, and historical places, it is a top destination for culture and tradition vultures who troop in every year to see and experience what the land of the Pharaohs has to offer. If Egypt is up on your list of travel destinations, check out the most unique experiences in the country and read below to learn about some of the best Airbnbs in Egypt to help you take care of accommodation.
Tip from Content Creator
I have heard over and over again that Egypt is just about the pyramids. But I think it has a lot to offer for a fraction of the cost of what you would pay in other highly rated destinations. Before you book an Airbnb in the country, check out my recommendations:
- Visit Sharm el Sheikh, a beautiful place to add to your Egypt trip if you want to enjoy the beach. There are many all-inclusive resorts there and it is one of the best places in the world for diving.
- Cairo has a very vibrant nightlife and amazing historical places and cute cafes to visit. I would recommend getting a tour guide for Cairo! It will make a huge difference in your experience from what I have heard. I personally booked my tours ahead of time and had a fantastic time in Egypt.
