Its history speaks for itself. Food is good. Lots to do nature wise. Huge city.

Why isn't it a premier tourist destination? I mean I sort of know why but there's other muslim countries that get lots of tourists

Also, whats worth seeing there besides obvious stuff like pyramids?

>>2834376 (OP)
It's full of subhuman raperats

>>2834376 (OP)
It's a huge /trv/ filter.
Going to be there soon, doing:
>marsa matruh
>siwa
>cairo

There's loads to see, and if you 'get it' it's fucking kino.

>Why isn't it a premier tourist destination?
It's literally one of the most visited countries in the world and the most visited in Africa by a massive margin

Seems like Morocco is the new Egypt. I see more chatter about the former in the past decade. Seems like Egypt has lost its pizzazz, while Morocco is cheaper, closer to us whites geographically, no political instability, and plenty of historic stuff if you don't split hairs about a millenium or two.

Because it's an overwhelming dirty chaotic shithole even by muslim country standards

>>2834376 (OP)
I hear the people suck though, like the worst ever.

>>2834387
same, the normies i know talk about morocco these days.

>>2834384
What are you going to be doing in Siwa?

>>2834466
Renting a house with a view of the desert, private pool and firepit. Mostly going to chill with imported vodka, cook up shit, laugh at the irony of having a pool to myself in the middle of the Sahara, and larp as an astronomer gazing at the stars.

Will probably throw in a 'desert safari' and some sandboarding, a bit of rowing on the oasis/lake, cycling around, Indiana jonesing the ancient temples, and hunting for beer/the mythical date wine the '''conservative locals'''' claim they don't drink.

Gonna have to propose to the gf, too. Booked everything so it co-incides with the full moon shining over the lake/oasis. Got drunk and told her the plan as I was so proud of it. Had to double down and go along with it!

It's not so much their religion, it's the people who would still be rats without the religion. Beautiful history, less beautiful current reality. There are still nice people there, there's just a lot of shitheads who would make a NYC hustler blush

The religion doesn't help one bit, though. There's co-incidence there's vioelnce and grief on every border of the Islamic world. Their religion is related to:
>blaming Israel for every single thing which is wrong in the country
>a corrupt military regime who do the bare minimum for their people to avoid Islamic uprisings
>various rebel groups/raiders in the desert who subscribe to radical Islam and necessitate said military's rule
>a total lack of ability to be responsible for their own actions as Allah controls everything
>0 regard for education and self-improvement among the lower classes as the Quran provides
>the constant doubling down on conservatisim as a solution to problems

There's positive signs though. The government is obviosuly trying to get people the fuck out of Cairo. There's numerous projects based around relocating people and moving water around, but it's going to be tough. The country doesn't really believe in them, and the military regime are just dragging people into their schemes.
The entire nation is fucking WOEFUL at anything connected to communication and leadership.

because it's a shithole with every single person that sees you trying to scam you from the time you step foot off the plane to the time you leave. worst poverty I've ever seen in my life.

>>2834376 (OP)
You can enjoy being eaten by tiger sharks because the government doesn't bother culling them.

>>2834387
I've heard the same. Egypt won't control the radicals. Everyone thinks because they're a tourist destination that they'll be civilized. No its not safe anymore for whitey

>>2834978
>not safe anymore for whitey
Where have you heard this shit, lmao?

>>2835280
This entire board is just browns larping. By not safe for whitey they mean: "Not safe for streetshitting scammers"

>>2834376 (OP)
Because of its shitty people and shitty food.

>>2834387
> no political instability
Egypt is more politically stable now than Morocco.

Terrible people

>>2836882
Tanzania and Nepal have made it clear how "political stability" can vanish overnight, leaving a traveler caught completely off guard.
>>2834376 (OP)
Egypt welcomed 15.78 million foreign tourists in 2024. That's 141 visitors per 1000 residents. Almost three times higher than Indonesia, and over ten times higher than India (my shithole destination of choice for this upcoming travel season).
>>2834384
Stop pretending like travel to Egypt is something remarkable. It's not. Tons of normies go to Egypt to gawk at the pyramids, ride camels and do other normie toorist shit.

>>2834376 (OP)
civil war could start any second, daily planned power cuts, healthcare is abysmal and they only start working on you once you paid a ridiculius amount like 2k usd for a simple surgery. those are just three reasons why im not going to return. oh yeah safety standards are terrible. recently a tourist died because a cable outside on the ac smoldered and they breathed the toxic air. youd have to be a total pharaohaboo to know all that and still go. also the only thing cheap is accomodation and basic ingredients they produce themselves.
