The Smile of Egypt
Last October, I visited Egypt with my friend, and from the moment we arrived, we were struck by the kindness and warmth of the people. Our tour guide welcomed us by saying, “Everyone smiles and is happy in Egypt,” and that couldn’t have been more true. Whether we were at the hotel, in the mall, or out on excursions, everyone went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and cared for. One excursion in particular stands out—a desert tour that left a lasting impression. Before we set off, two local guides showed us how to tie our headscarves properly and gave us helpful tips on how to ride a camel. They looked after us the entire time, making sure we were safe and enjoying ourselves. Their names were Islam and Mohamed, and they were absolutely wonderful. We could ask them anything, and they answered with patience and genuine enthusiasm. They spoke English very well and had a great sense of humor, we were smiling the whole time. We felt incredibly lucky to have them as our guides, and we’re truly grateful for their hospitality.
