Every so often, Egyptians become forgetful of the beauty of Egypt due to the socio-economic unrest that gets people caught up in a loop of continuous struggles to secure their basic needs. Amid continuous attempts to remember the beauty of Egypt, an abundance of Youtube channels contribute to remind people once again of the allurement of the North African country.
Having navigated YouTube and other social media platforms in search of people–both foreigners and Egyptians– who highlight their visits and adventures in Egypt, it is easy to realize that there is more to this country than the Great Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx.
