40 Pics From Egypt You Won’t See In Tourism Promotionals
Egypt is one of the oldest countries in the world. Located in northeast Africa, it has been around since about 3150 BC and is home to the Great Pyramid of Giza, the only surviving ancient wonder.
But there's more to it. And there's one subreddit that wants you to go beyond the statues and tombs, showing all the things that tourism agencies tend to exclude from their promotionals.
Appropriately titled r/Egypt, this online community provides a deeper look into the country and its citizens. From a local Alexandria bird lover to a simple but very beautiful tree in Cairo, continue scrolling and check out some of its most popular posts.

Can We All Take A Moment To Embrace Such A Beautiful, But Underappreciated Mosque In Sohag? It Won Global Architecture Awards, But Not That Many People Know About It. The Basuna Mosque.

A wonderful piece of modern achitecture that uses traditional patterns. Modern sacral buildings are underrated... This building is the Al Abu Stait mosque in Basuna, built by architect Waleed Arafa in 2019. It looks much more traditional from different angles - and much more modern inside.

Thank you, BP staff, this is wonderful! We would love to hear more about the beauty and reality of such places less-traveled, and less about the US and all of the misery it fosters.

Thanks for these great photos. I live in Cairo and we residents often forget what a magical place this is.

Yes, that happens a lot unfortunately. I never realised how beautiful my hometown was until I moved far away.
