Exploring Egypt with EF Ultimate Break: Egypt Cruise the Nile
We really hit the ground running with Egypt! To be honest we were in between starting somewhere in South America, or Egypt. Don’t ask me how we narrowed it down to those two locations. Ultimately it ended up being pretty much a coin flip and off to Egypt we went!
To ease ourselves into full-time travel, we found a group trip with EF Ultimate Break that had the perfect first time to Egypt itinerary in my opinion (Egypt: Cruise the Nile). We got there a few days early and spent the time exploring the Pyramids and getting adjusted to our first time change of many.
