To see the true beauty of Egypt and her people, you have to get away from the packaged resorts and travel independently. Slow down, be a little spontaneous, take the time to see it properly, let Egypt show herself to you and spend some time with her people away from the resorts. You will not regret it.

Playing the game of social roulette and constant hellos and goodbyes can sometimes be hard, and as a long term traveller you do have to be prepared for that.
