Yeah if it weren't for the military I would have never had the opportunity. Ancient Egypt has always fascinated me, so to see this in person was surreal. Because it was for the military we were under heavy watch and we were rushed through everything, so I didn't get to spend much time there which was a bummer. And with COVID we couldn't go inside.
We also got to see the Bibliotheca Alexandrina and the Old Alexandria Lighthouse site/Citadel of Qaitbay. We drove by the Taposiris Magna Temple multiple times but never got to stop there. They believe that's where Queen Cleopatra's tomb is, but they aren't certain.
