The city slowly faded into the rearview mirror, replaced by the vast expanse of the Egyptian landscape.
The anticipation was palpable as we approached Ain Sokhna, a coastal gem just a couple of hours from Cairo. The journey was seamless, thanks to our guide, Ahmed, whose passion for the region was as infectious as it was enlightening.
