BACKPACKING EGYPT 2019

                       BACKPACKING EGYPT

"Getting the opportunity to travel the world or even just few sections of our country during our college life is a great experience." It does not only allow one to see the world but helps to form a better understanding of ourselves, our belief, it help us to shape and develop into a more mature person.

I feel privileged by getting this opportunity in my college life. Being a student of travel and tourism. "Traveling is the part of my life. ".
Here is a short example of my experience of
Backpacking egypt. 





My journey began on 15th of June 2019.when I had my first international flight from Mumbai to Cairo. It was the best feeling as I was going to visit THE LAND OF PHAROS & MUMMIES
 " EGYPT ".
I went there as a global volunteer in backpacking program through AIESEC GUC ORGANIZATION, we were supposed to visit different cities in Egypt , write BLOGS and posting them on various social media, which will help in the PROMOTION OF TOURISM IN EGYPT.

It was 42 days trip, where I met people from different part of the world like, Egypt πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡¬, china πŸ‡¨πŸ‡³, Brazil πŸ‡§πŸ‡·, Mexico πŸ‡²πŸ‡½, Pakistan πŸ‡΅πŸ‡° , VietnamπŸ‡»πŸ‡³, Russia, Algeria, Rwanda, turkey and many more, it was a wonderful experience as we lived together and shared our culture, language, traditions with each other.
I learned many new things, made many new friends and memories that I am going to cherish for the rest of my life.


In these 42days I came across different language, culture and cuisine which were completely new to me. Being an INDIAN FOOD LOVER it was difficult for me to adjust there but slowly I got used to it. Some of the Egyptian food πŸ΄πŸ•πŸ” that I liked was - koshary (made up of pasta, lentils and tomato sauce) , Fellafal (Egyptian bread).

I also visited many cities, which were very beautiful and heart warming. The 1st city was ALEXANDRIA ( city of Mediterranean sea🌊) , LUXOR ( city of templeπŸ•Œ) , ASWAN ( city of Nubian tribe), MARSA ALAM ( city of beautiful emerald beach πŸ–and coral reefs ), HURGADHA (city of cruise ship 🚒 and dolphin🐬) , RAS RADUR (city of beautiful resorts and sunset Beach points), ST. CATHERINE MOUNTAIN (best place to hike), DAHAB (the city of paradise).




In these 42days I also experienced things which were on my bucket list-
Snorkeling , hiking, ⛺camping , horse 🐎 riding, 🏜deserts safari, cruise 🌊🚒🌊. 

I feel PROUD to represent my beautiful country INDIA and ended my trip with flying colors. It was once a life time opportunity for me,which I'll cherish for the rest if my life.
