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.

While visiting this amazing hamlet can be one of the most intriguing things to try in Egypt, one must be careful and check with locals before setting off to it since the Western Desert is known to be quite unsafe at times.

Sitting on the banks of the river Nile, this unique garden is more a peaceful oasis that lies hidden behind high walls and the army of tourists that flock to Egypt every year. This resplendent botanical garden is one-of-its-kind in the otherwise barren and dry Egypt and is studded with colorful mosaic benches, arches, and fountains that make it an Eden for lovebirds and photographers. The highlight is the Andalusian-style preserved structures, apart from statues of Pharaohs, lions, and the notable Egyptian poet Ahmed Shawky. Location: El-Andalus, Zamalek, Cairo Governorate, Egypt
