Beyond East Asia — what else we cover
Trip My Journey is built around Korea, Japan, China and Taiwan. Egypt is the one exception so far — four city guides covering the Nile corridor and the Red Sea coast, plus four in-depth guides to its biggest sights, written to the same standard as the East Asia city guides: what to see, what it costs, and how to get there.
| Destination | What it covers | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Cairo | Giza Pyramids, the Grand Egyptian Museum, Khan el-Khalili, CAI airport transfers | First-time visitors — most itineraries start here |
| Luxor | Karnak, Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut, hot air balloons, LXR transfers | Ancient sites at their densest |
| Alexandria | Bibliotheca Alexandrina, Qaitbay Citadel, the catacombs, getting there from Cairo | A day or two on the Mediterranean |
| Hurghada | Red Sea snorkelling, Giftun Island, Orange Bay, desert safari | Beach and diving, not history |

Planning an Egypt trip
- Cairo first, then decide. Luxor is a short flight or an overnight train south; Alexandria is a couple of hours north by train.
- Hurghada is a different trip. It is a Red Sea resort base, not a sightseeing hub — pair it with Luxor rather than treating it as a Cairo day trip.
- Ticket prices change often. Each guide notes the date its prices were checked. Confirm at the gate or with your operator before you commit.
