Egypt is great for diving. The nature on the Sinai peninsula is at least interesting, if not gorgeous in places. Political instability and the general culture do mean that you can have a bad time there, especially as a woman.

Went 2 weeks there:

  • First week was only about diving and was probably the most beautiful thing I will ever see in my life.

  • Second week was about visiting the monuments and while they are astonishing cultural and historical bangers (except the pyramids which are impressive from the outside but just some dull stones in the inside) people living there (even those running restaurants or hotels) are invasive as fuck and not worthile your time...

However we also rentend an airbnb for 2 days and even if the room was clean it looked a bit gloomy but the guy was very nice and friendly we even ate a pizza with him and watched a local TV movie (some sharknado rip from their country XD). It was a way better experience than In a stared hotel with all commodities...

In general, going the tourist way is mostly a bad experience in every country.

Egypt is the kind of country where I want to see things in it, but I kind of want to get the sanitized experience if I go there.
