Hey Hive crew! I’ve got an incredible tale to share with you all—straight from the wilds of Egypt! Picture this: I’m standing in the middle of an endless desert, the wind kicking up sand like it’s got a personal vendetta, and the sun blazing down like it’s trying to roast me alive. This wasn’t your typical Seven Wonders tour—no pyramids in sight—but a deep dive into the Nabq region, where the desert, the Red Sea, and the Colored Canyon stole the show. Buckle up, friends, because I’m about to take you on this ride with me!
We set out early in the morning from Sharm El Sheikh in jeeps. The road to Nabq was rough, dust rising in clouds, but I couldn’t tear my eyes away from the landscape. The desert stretched to the horizon, with only the faint outlines of mountains visible in the distance. Our guide, Mohammed, explained that Nabq was a place where the winds reigned year-round, and the Red Sea brought life to this waterless expanse. “There are no pyramids here,” he said, “but nature itself is a wonder.”
Our first stop was the Red Sea coast. I kicked off my shoes and stepped onto the warm sand. The water was crystal clear, and in the distance, I could see coral reefs beckoning with their vibrant colors. I plunged in with a snorkel mask, and an underwater world unfolded before me: parrotfish darted playfully, while starfish rested on the seabed like natural ornaments. “This isn’t the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, but it’s no less breathtaking,” I thought, recalling tales of ancient marvels.

Saw this too late for my vote to matter, unfortunately!
I spent 5 days in Cairo last year, really want to go back soon for maybe even a month...
Thanks!
