Why Take Advice From Me?
I'm Julia. I've spent 15+ years in international tourism and hospitality — from selling package holidays to working in luxury hotels in Dubai.
For the last seven years, I've called Egypt home. I understand Egypt from two sides: as a tourism professional who knows the industry inside out, and as someone who lives here and loves this country.
I've taken friends, family, and guests to the Pyramids more times than I can count. I know where things go wrong — and how to avoid them. This guide is the shortcut I wish every visitor had.
