Shopping
Egypt has several markets and some are even open 24 hrs. 😲
Khan el-Khalili is one of the most well known markets in Egypt and I cannot wait to check it out!
Khan el-Khalili · El-Gamaleya, El Gamaliya, Cairo Governorate 4331302, Egypt
Altay you say? Yes please! I really want to check out this shop as they have a wide variety and I saw so much that I liked in the pictures. Hopefully I can find some similar items when I arrive!
Altay · 17 el mansour mohamed st., Abu Al Feda, Zamalek, Cairo Governorate 4271020, Egypt
This is an outdoor thrift store that I want to check out. I saw where someone got some gently used clothing items for reasonable prices.
El Wekala · 365H+V6M, Boulaq Num.5, Bulaq, Cairo Governorate 4311001, Egypt
I randomly found this place while doing a Google search and saw so many items of interest. I have a feeling that I will be hauling a lot back with me from shopping!
Al.Agamy Bazaar · كورنيش النيل، شياخة ثالثة، قسم أسوان، أسوان،, Aswan 1, Egypt
I am going to do so much shopping in Egypt. I cannot wait to take in the culture! I found this shopping area in Aswan from Google and was constantly saying ohhh that's pretty!
سوق اسوان السياحي · النوبة, Sheyakhah Thalethah, Aswan 1, Aswan Governorate 81511, Egypt
Flower Cotton is another shop that I came across and it looked interesting. If we have time, it would be neat to check out.
Flowers Cotton · Al Haram, Giza Governorate
I definitely want to check out the belly dancing outfits at Tabarak Belly Dance and Carneval! 😍

Tourist Spots
I don't know if I will ever have the chance to return to Egypt, so I want to get in as many tourist spots as possible while I'm there.
It was recommended to me that I absolutely had to add the Luxor Temple to my list of places to see. Once I googled it, I immediately added it to my list. Wow this will be amazing to see!
Luxor Temple · Luxor City, Luxor, Luxor Governorate 1362501, Egypt
Karnak Temple is the temple of all temples when it was finished and is found in Luxor.
Karnak Temple Mosque المسجد · PM92+CW6, Karnak, Luxor, Luxor Governorate 1363018, Egypt
I had to add Valley of the Kings to my visit wish list. I'm definitely going to have to narrow down which locations we can realistically see while I'm in Egypt.
Valley of the Kings · Luxor, Luxor Governorate 1340420, Egypt
The Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut is right next to the Valley of the Kings. If we make it to the Valley of the Kings, we simply HAVE to see the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut while in the area!
Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut · Al Qarna, Luxor Governorate 1340420, Egypt
The Colossi of Memnon stone statues represent Pharaoh Amenhotep III. I think these would be really cool to see. Man it's going to be interesting to try to work all of my wish list items into the trip.
Colossi of Memnon · Al Bairat, Al Qarna, Luxor Governorate 1341703, Egypt
Aswan was another area that was recommended to me. I'm adding the museum to my list of places to see!
Aswan Museum · Sheyakhah Oula, Aswan, Aswan Governorate 1240861, Egypt
I was looking at the photos that were at the Nubian Museum and thought that this was another awesome place that I would love to see.
Nubian Museum · 3VHQ+P67, Assuan, Sheyakhah Oula, Aswan 1, Aswan Governorate 1240842, Egypt
One of my top places to see in Egypt are the Pyramids of Giza. I also want to ride a camel! 😅
Giza Necropolis · Al Haram, Giza Governorate
We will be snorkeling in the area and I thought it would be awesome to visit the Mosque El Mina El Kabeer. To go inside, ladies would need to cover up. I saw where they have a dress rental if you need it.
Mosque El Mina El Kabeer · Hurghada 1, Red Sea Governorate
I stumbled across Turkish Bath and Massage, saw the pricing, and had to add it to the list. This would be an awesome way to end a day of snorkeling (or to start out with the following morning).
Turkish Bath and Massage in Hurghada
Snorkeling
Ever since I first went snorkeling at Isla Tortuga, Costa Rica, I have become hooked on snorkeling. I attempted a beginners course in diving and it did not go well, so I will stick to snorkeling for now. These are areas for snorkeling that I would li...
Hurghada Luxury Cruise Trip is another option for snorkeling at Orange Bay that includes: equipment, 2 stops for snorkeling, beach time, lunch, and a massage!
Hurghada: Luxury Cruise Trip to Orange Bay with Lunch
So many options at Orange Bay! This will be closer to some of our other excursions, so it is a very good contender for my trip!

Marsa Shagra Village is recommended as a starting point for snorkeling and diving for those that are first timers at the Red Sea.
Marsa Shagra Village, Marsa Alam, Red Sea
Marsa Nakari looks absolutely stunning as well! Eeeek, I'm so excited for this Egyptian trip!
Marsa Nakari Village, Marsa Alam, Red Sea
Wadi Lahami Village is said to have a LOT of spinner dolphins in the area. I added this to my wish list as it would be awesome to see that many dolphins while snorkeling.
