If you’re looking for the best things to do in Cairo, I can tell you one thing straight away — it’s not just about the pyramids. I ended up spending 12 days in Cairo in total, although not all in one go. The first time, I stayed in Giza to visit the pyramids — like…
I visited the City of the Dead in Cairo, Egypt, also know as Al Qarafa on my own—and honestly, I was nervous at first. Most people talk about it like a “no-go” zone, and I couldn’t find any tours the day I went. But it was a festive day in Cairo, the atmosphere felt calm,…

After living in Amsterdam’s city center since 1997 and working as a guide since 2011, I’ve…
If you want to do Amsterdam in one day, the real challenge isn’t what to see — it’s how to choose.

Amsterdam is famous for its picturesque canals, elegant gabled houses, and centuries of maritime history. But behind the beauty of the city lies a darker past filled with mysterious events, old legends, and stories that have been whispered for generations.
