4. Tawila Island – El Gouna, Hurghada
The secluded and once-deserted Tawila Island, located 24km off the coast of El Gouna, Egypt, is now being developed into a luxurious resort that could rival those found in the Maldives.
However, the once untouched island is now offering visitors the chance to experience the island’s pristine white sandy beaches and crystal clear waters.
Tawila Island was previously accessible only by yacht, but with the new resorts emerging on the island, more people will be able to experience the island’s natural beauty.
3. Temple of Seti I – Qurna, Luxor
One of the most overlooked ancient sites in Egypt is the Temple of Seti I in Abydos. This temple is not as well-known as other ancient Egyptian sites such as the pyramids or the Valley of the Kings, but it is just as impressive. The temple was built by Seti I, the father of Ramses II, and is known for its intricate carvings and hieroglyphics.

Wadi El-Weshwash is a true hidden gem, tucked away in the mountains and requiring a guide to reach it. The location is breathtaking, featuring granite-clad walls that collect water from rain and floods, creating a natural pool. It’s an ideal destination for adventurers seeking a primal and secluded atmosphere, away from the hustle and bustle of city life. This place is perfect to escape from daily routine and to refresh your mind.
