Gabal Dakrour (Dakrour Mountain) in Siwa

Located in south eastern Siwa, thats a place thats worth driving all the
way to Siwa for 12 hours from Cairo. What its famous for is its hot sand
healing characteristics. Youre buried in the sand up to your neck, during
summer heat -so that the sand is hot as well- for 20 min, 3 to 5 times a
day, and wait for magical results to happen.

Snorkeling, Diving & Wreck Diving

Spots
Ras Muhammed in Sharm El-Sheikh
is Egypts most famous national park and diving spot, and among the
most known diving sites in the world. Beside its crystal clear waters, Ras
Muhammad witnesses the annual migration of several marine species,
in addition to stunning mangroves, and coral reefs with a diversity of

Blue Hole in Dahab

5/86
1/19/2015
It is a world infamous diving spot, a very challenging one known as the

most dangerous and deadliest on earth, however it appeals to divers
just as Mt. Kilimanjaro & Mt. Everest appeal to mountaineers. It is well
worth mentioning that its not the most beautiful dive where exceptional
marine life is spotted, its just a signature dive only accomplished by the
experienced, well prepared and none faint-hearted. The reason why its
dangerous is that the dive is so deep, which makes nitrogen narcosis
get hold of the diver (the ability to make decisions), so divers keep
getting deeper without having air supply or ability to take decisions, and
they unfortunately lose their lives.

Dahabs Eel Garden

You dont have to be an exceptional diver to enjoy Dahabs eel garden,
as there is a lot to spot while snorkeling. This is the place to see tens of
long eels popping their heads out of the sand, and vanishing back in
again. It is also home to barracudas and the rare sea grass ghost
pipefish.

Shali Fortress in Siwa
11/86
1/19/2015
This 13th century mud brick fortress was made out of an organic
material known as kershef, which is basically salt rocks brought from
the surrounding lakes combined with mud and clay. It was four to five
stories high, and hundreds of people were housed at this spectacular
labyrinth. In 1926 after heavy rainfalls, the fortress was heavily
damaged, and its people moved out. Now only few buildings are used
as storage.

mountains to commemorate Ramses IIs victory at Kadesh battle. What
is truly unique about it is that it was built and positioned in a way that
on October 22nd & February 22nd of each year the rays of the sun
would penetrate into the sanctuary to illuminate the sculptures on the
black wall, except for the statue of Ptah, the ancient god connected to
the underworld. People come from all over the world to witness such a
phenomena.

The Temple of the Oracle (known as Temple of Amun) in

Siwa
Who would think that Siwa Oasis would have its share of Pharaonic
temples? When in Siwa you have got to see the remainders of a great

you cannot miss this cemetery.

Taboula Garden city in Cairo (http://www.taboulaeg.com/)

Although Taboula now has several branches, Garden city remains the
best. A Lebanese restaurant with a typically Egyptian atmosphere. Their
mezza menu is enough to please all taste buds, their main dishes are
not-to-be-missed as well.

Felfela Down Town in Cairo

Whether Egyptian or non-Egyptian being in Egypt without paying a visit
to down town makes your trip so incomplete, and if you have foreign
friends they cannot leave Egypt without eating at Felfela down town
restaurant, its truly one of Egypts landmarks, try their ta3meya, koshari,
ma7shi, foul, sogo2, the list is just endless!

ut?gl=eg&hl=en)
Yes its in Embaba, and doesnt have the hippiest setting, or the chic-est
atmosphere, but this is undoubtedly the place to enjoy Egyptian
cuisine at its best! Their molokheya is out of this world, it is delicious to
the extent that you can drink it like soup, eat it with bread or pour it on
rice with beef (roz bel la7ma). The roz bel la7ma is another story made
with samna baladi (yes its heavy & yes youre completely off your diet
on that day), oh and their kebda (livers). Try it for yourself, I promise you
that youll be completely addicted to it.

Abou Ashraf in Alexandria

This is one of the best fish & seafood places in Alexandria, they serve
catch of the day seafood, with the best range of salads. Try their renga
salad that has a texture similar to tehina, their pasta with butter sauce
and of course any seafood dish grilled or fried, specially their samak
sayadeya with potatoes.

Negmet Sinai (Sinai Star) in Sharm El-Sheikh

Balbaa in Alexandria
This place has it all, BBQ, Seafood, Ma7shi (stuffed vegetables), you
name it! Their Fried ducks served with roz bel khalta, and fries is highly

there is another one that is huge next to Carrefour.

Great awesome effort showing that Egypt is a treasure of awesome places to be

visited. Wherever your destination is inside our beloved country, you cand find many
places to visit. Egyptians shouldt be spending lots of money travelling abroad as they
can spend less( doubtfull !!) here. We need much time if we want to visit all the
beautiful places in Egypt & we wont finish them. Again , thanku for the great effort &

Impressive article Passainte. Egypt has a lot to offer, and every bit of sand of this land
has a different story to tell. I like the fact that you compiled one list of everything in
one place, no one has ever done that before.
I would suggest that you add part II to the original list so it remains one link/one
article/one post to share around, and I would also recommend that you add a section
of What to do things like Cross Egypt Challenge, Sand surfing, Kite surfing, Para
sailing, etc
