EGYPT & JORDAN | Ep1: Solo Backpacking Egypt

Video Description

Solo backpacking through Egypt in the first leg of my month long trip as I travel through Egypt & Jordan. Egypt & Jordan are undoubtedly on most people's travel bucket lists, but I've always had the impression that the majority of people travel there on an organised tour. So I wanted to give it a go by myself and see what it was like treating it like a normal backpacking trip, staying at hostel and booking everything on the go. This first episode covers the 3 weeks I spent solo travelling around Egypt. Starting out in Cairo, I visited the Great Pyramids at Giza as well as exploring Islamic Cairo. Then I took the train down to Aswan, visited Abu Simbel before boarding a 2 day cruise on the Nile to Luxor. At Luxor I visited the Valley of the Kings, Karnak and other temples. Then I went snorkelling and scuba diving in the Red Sea at Hurghada, Sharm el Sheikh and Dahab. --------------------- Watch more films --------------------- SUBSCRIBE to my channel: http://bit.ly/KarlWatsonTravelDocs Visit website: http://www.karlwatson.net --------------------- Social Media --------------------------- Facebook: http://fb.com/karlwatsondocs Twitter: http://bit.ly/karlwatsondocstwitter Instagram: http://bit.ly/karlwatsondocsinsta Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/karlwatsondocs --------------------- Support the channel --------------------------- It takes a lot of time and money to create these films and if you’d like to see more, here’s how you can support the channel: 1.
