12 Places in Egypt That You Need To Visit

9. Siwa Oasis
We think you need a break from the hustle and bustle of the city. We’re taking you to the Western Desert, where you can find an oasis town that is beyond words. Look up above and you can check out the ruins of a gigantic mud-brick cathedral. Sort of in the shape of the smiling poop emoji. Frankly, you’d have to be blind not to see it. Unless you really are blind, in which case you can’t see it. But then how are you managing to read these words, huh?

10. Alexandria
Alexander the Great founded this beautiful city along the Mediterranean, so why not visit? You know that if you had founded a city, Alexander would visit yours. So it’s only fair. Cleopatra also lived here, for your information. This is the most European-esque city in Egypt. In terms of seeking out ancient sites and artifacts, you’re not going to have much luck. Unfortunately, few historical reminders of the city’s past exist today except in the form of song and interpretive dance.
