What’s this nonsense? Why is this a site that’s about time travel, then you wind up on a page with tips for regular travel? Well, not everyone’s up for time traveling. It’s extremely hazardous, not to mention the cause of copious amounts of motion sickness.

So, these are some tips for those who want some more regular travel in their lives: Namely, travel to Egypt. After all, there’s no place on the planet that makes you feel like you’ve traveled to the past, without actually doing it.

There’s a few categories here: General Egypt Travel Tips, Cairo Travel Tips, Luxor Travel Tips, and a couple of Aswan Travel Tips. Now, don’t feel like you’re missing out by not traveling through time. It’s not for everyone. If you want to go through everything from beginning to end, start with the “Should I Travel to Egypt?” post, then click forward to the next article when you reach the bottom.

Or you can just skip around haphazardly. I’m not your boss. Do what you want.
