But Egypt offers a rich tapestry of experiences that stretches far beyond its iconic monuments. Pristine coral gardens bloom in the waters of the Red Sea, and young craftmakers and artisans make their mark in Cairo boutiques. Truly experiencing Egypt requires merging ancient adventure-seeking with a touch of modern-day authenticity.
