Discover Egypt

With thousands of years of history and culture, there’s so much more to explore in Egypt than the Pyramids, Sharm el Sheikh and the legendary Khan El Khalili Souk. The most rewarding way to experience Egypt is to hire a private guide, explore the local markets, taste the delicious food and plan to see some of the things that package tours rarely offer.

Instagram post 2189364698536498993_3507389876 Before we headed off to Hamburg, I read about the most amazing burger restaurant, and I knew we had to visit. Teen boy is partial to a good burger!⠀ ⠀ I saved our trip to Otto's Burgers until our last day, but OMG, this was the Rolls Royce of burgers - teen boy didn't even stop to remove the "weeds" (salad) before tucking into his huge double hamburger!!🍔🍟🍽⠀ ⠀ What was your best food discovery of 2019? Why did you love it and where was it?⠀ ⠀ If the boy was voting, currywurst would be a very close runner up!⠀ ⠀ #hamburg #germany #foodie #travel #fooddiscovery #abroadeats #foodietravel #foodietribe #travelfood #travelfoodlove #travelfoodie #travelandfood #bestfood2019
Instagram post 2182732462374184657_3507389876 A giant Frankfurter had to be tried when visiting Leeds German Christmas Market last night. A lovely market, with so much to see and some excellent stalls. The mulled wine was on point and there was even a singing moose! ! Not sure I'll ever eat one of those comedy sausages ever again though! Do you love Christmas markets too? Where's the best one you've ever visited? #christmas #christmasmarket #christmasmarkets #Leeds #leedschristmasmarket #outwithfriends #prettylittletrips #prettycity #visitleeds #yorkshire #passionpassport #passionpassort #passionpasseport #streetfood #streetfoods #streetfoodies @morineanstock #germanmarket @your_yorkshire @bbcyorkshire
Instagram post 2175088721804129218_3507389876 Not the most PC square in England, but the 8 nymphs in Leeds City Square are beautiful to look at, in a 'fin-de-siecle' sort of way. ⠀ Part of me loves their simple beauty, part of me is offended that the statues here of women are half-naked and anonymous, yet the 5 male statues are all named and fully clothed. ⠀ Interesting too to think that when the statues were erected (1899) the standard of dress for women was restrictive, and showing flesh was simply not done, yet today some women are offended by semi-naked female statues, yet seem content to parade their own half-naked bodies in the flimsiest of garments held together by a wish and a prayer. Double standards? Feminism? I'd love to know what you think. #leedscity #leedsbloggers #visitleeds @visitleeds @visityorkshire #yorkshiresfinest #victorianart #cityphoto #cityphotography #cityscape #citysquare #thisprettyengland #prettycity #loveleeds #wheretonext✈️

Such a buzz in there - it's a must visit when you come to #Leeds ❤️ #independent #indieshop #businesshub #architecture #architektur #GloriousBritain #ukgetaway #bestcityshots #passionpassport #england🇬🇧 #ceilingdesign #lookup #mustsee #mustvisitplace

Instagram post 2165959623046541965_3507389876 I stumbled upon the glorious #rainbowofhope public/community art mural at the weekend when visiting #Leeds - located in the historic Kirkgate market, this mural was created after 2 weeks of open mosaic workshops with the market traders and the public. The theme is #hope and the mural is just one of the art works dotted around the city by @seagullspaint who 'rescue' landfill sites in and around Leeds from the tons of paint that others discard. I'll definitely be heading over to their paint shop for my next decorating project. Who else knew you could even recycle paint? #recycle #reuserecycle #recycledpaint #communityart #publicart #leedscitymarket #leedskirkgatemarket #prettycity #prettylittletrips #innercity #innercityarts #innercitylife #leedsbloggers #leedsleedsleeds #leedslife #leedsviews #your_yorkshire #foundonmytravels
