A Girl's Solo Adventure in Egypt: The Ultimate Guide! β¨
I had one full day + two mornings in Cairo. Hereβs my take on the must-see spots: πΊ Pyramids of Giza Rating: ππ A must-visit for the gram, but honestly? Not that fun. Extremely hot π₯΅ β go early! Scammers are everywhere. Your best defense: donβt talk to anyone β. Theyβll claim to be security, ticket checkers, guidesβ¦ just ignore and walk away. π Pro tip: If you only want quick photos, set your GPS to the Sphinx entrance. You can see both the Pyramids and Sphinx from there. Otherwise, you might end up at the wrong gate (learned the hard way!). π Egyptian Museum Rating: ππππππ« Absolutely mind-blowing!! πβ€οΈ So moved by what I saw. Highly recommend an English guide if you have time and language skills β itβs worth it! I pre-watched videos on Bilibili and did a quick walkthrough, but you could easily spend a whole day here. A true treasure! π° Salahuddin Citadel Rating: πππππ Stunningly beautiful!! π Felt like Kingβs Landing from Game of Thrones. Even just sitting and soaking in the vibe was magical. A must-visit! βͺ The Hanging Church Rating: πππππ Not just one church β itβs a whole cluster of churches! π Definitely pay to enter the Coptic Church. So beautiful and spiritually moving β like stepping into an ancient spice kingdom. β οΈ Popular with Western tour groups. Go early to avoid crowds! βͺ Cave Church (St. Simon) Rating: πππππ You pass through βGarbage Cityβ to reach this breathtaking church. A powerful contrast and very photogenic πΈ (but still super hot!). β οΈ Negotiate a round-trip taxi (300β400 EGP). Hard to find a ride back! Navigate to: ST.Simon the Tanner Monastery. π Khan El Khalili Market Rating: πππ Very crowded and chaotic ππ₯β¦ and itβs huge! Easy to get lost. Poor signal + packed streets β I went at night and felt a bit nervous. Didnβt stay long, but heard you can find cool souvenirs. A bit regretful I didnβt explore more! #Egypt #EgyptTravel #PyramidsOfEgypt #SoloTravel #TravelAlone #SoloFemaleTravel #ExploreEgypt ππ©π¦±β¨
