Country of the day: EGYPT

E G Y P T

PLACES TO SEE: Home of one of the oldest-known civilizations, the incredible pyramids, the sphinx, and the Nile River, Egypt is the first destination on our route.

LANGUAGE: Arabic is the predominant language, so hopefully Girl 3 will have been brushing up on her skills.

SAFETY: A fact that will soothe our mothers' nerves: cities in Egypt are safer than cities in the U.S.

PEOPLE: One of the reasons the crime rate is non-existent is because Egyptians are predominantly Muslim (90%-94%)! There is also a small presence of the Egpytian Coptic church, one of the oldest Christian churches in the world.

EXPENSES: If traveling cheaply, we can live in Egypt for approximately $8 per day.


Egypt, you will remain forever in our hearts as #1 of 53.
