I’d like to say hello again and thank you for following me this far! Perhaps I’ve already succeeded in (re-)awakening your desire to discover this impressive piece of earth just as individually and on your own as I got to know it.

On this site I’ve put together my collection of excellent spots and trusted tour guides, together with links to other valuable information sources as well as my own tips and tricks on how you can avoid ‘learning the hard way’ in Egypt.

Of course, I’m at your disposal in the usual digital ways to get in direct touch. Simply text me with your questions without any obligation, then one or the other will surely emerge. If you have already gained own (travel) experiences with Egypt, I’d be very happy if you’d like to share them via this platform (blog features comin’ soon…).

Wishing you lots of fun with discoveregypt.org, while I’ll continue to post my past & future Egypt travel experiences step by step.

Greetings, Jörg Michael
