Most visitors come to Egypt for the ancient wonders. And rightly so. The pyramids, temples and tombs are among the most remarkable achievements of any civilisation.
But some of the most memorable moments happen away from the headline attractions. They might be found while strolling through a bustling market, watching life unfold on the banks of the Nile, chatting with local people over a cup of tea or exploring places that many visitors never make time to see.
Walking allows you to experience Egypt at a different pace. Rather than simply moving from one famous site to the next, you'll have the chance to immerse yourself in the country's culture, landscapes and everyday life. It's these moments between the monuments that often leave the strongest impression.
