INTERESTING EXPERIENCE IN EYPT
1. Animal Care, Luxor – Volunteer
This one’s for all you animal lovers out there. Famous for its hundreds of tombs, Luxor is also
home to ACE, an organization which ensures that the working animals of Egypt are not forgotten.
The place gets plenty of visitors who get a chance to watch trained vets take care of overworked
horses, donkeys, stray dogs, and cats. What is more, you can easily stay back here for a couple of
weeks and volunteer to help, which is for sure one of the most memorable activities to do in
Egypt. While they need hands, you get all sorts of animal therapy in one of the world’s oldest
cities. This is one of the most satisfying non touristy things to do in Egypt.
Location: Luxor
2. Hurghada – Go Scuba Diving
The Red Sea coast of Egypt is famous for the town of Hurghada, which offers lots of fun things to
do in Egypt in December. The stunning landscape here, complete with coral reefs, crystal clear
waters, and sandy shores makes for the perfect spot for diving and snorkeling. There are lots of
activities in Egypt that you can engage in, but this is quite surprising, isn’t it?. We believe your trip
would be incomplete without a visit to the Grand Aquarium in Hurghada.
Location: Dahab, Sinai Peninsula
3. Giza – Learn To Make Papyrus
One of the Egyptian civilization’s greatest achievements was the invention of paper. Specifically,
they made writing material out of pulp derived from the papyrus tree that still grows along the
Nile. At the Papyrus Institute in Giza (which is where the Pyramids are) visitors are enthralled with
a demo of the way we believe the first Egyptians made paper. Interestingly, papyrus is one of the
most famous things to buy in Egypt, and you can easily get your hands on papyrus souvenirs here
to remember your Egypt trip in a very meaningful way.
Location: Giza
Islamic Cairo – Shop For Leather, Jewels, And Perfumes
Behind the walled city lies what used to be the heart of the Islamic empire in Egypt. While there
are stunning mosques that will delight the history and art lovers, there is also the world’s oldest
shopping center on the streets of Islamic Cairo. You can take a walking tour by yourself of this
place, and buy loads of oriental jewelry, leather bags, and even Egyptian itra and aromatic spices,
which is surely one of the most enjoyable things to do in Cairo at night. Your bargaining skills will
help a lot here, as there is no way to say what item is really worth what.
Location: Central Cairo
