Egypt is undeniably one of the oldest and best places in the world that everyone ought to visit at least once in their lifetime. It has been home to many great Pharaohs, empires, and successful civilizations.

The country takes pride in its several historic monuments and sites that have a lot of stories, holy places, and awe-inspiring views of nature. When you travel to Egypt, you would have a pretty good idea of what to expect—but nothing beats the feeling of actually being there.

Very few people in the West have the privilege to see what Egypt is really all about. You might see photos of the pyramids and the Nile River on most platforms and image hosts on the Internet, but you don't see any photos from the markets in Cairo, fish market in Alexandria, and all the amazing temples you would get to visit if you ever travel to Luxor.

That being said, there is an online community in Reddit, r/Egypt, wherein people share photos that provide a deeper look into the beautiful country of Egypt. They go beyond the famous tourist spots and statues and highlight all the other amazing things that the country has to offer, which aren't always included in promotional tourism videos and pamphlets.

Take a look at some of the best posts in it below!
