About

Hi! I’m Martin! I am from the United States (specifically from Wyoming). From 2015 to 2017, I had the incredible opportunity to call Egypt home. It’s been years since I left, but the country, with its stunning landscapes, rich history, vibrant culture, and, most importantly, its people is still in my heart.

I decided to start this blog (“Across the Sand”) because people constantly ask me, “What should I see in Egypt?” Every time, I find myself writing and writing because there’s just so much to say about this fascinating place. Writing a blog felt like the perfect way to share my recommendations and memories while connecting with others who are curious about the land of pyramids and the Nile.

Egypt is more than just ancient temples and bustling bazaars (though those are amazing, too). It’s a place that touches every part of history. The past and present coexist in ways that challenge and inspire. The warmth of the people, the beauty of the sites, and the unique perspective you gain from visiting will expand your understanding of the world and its stories.

Through this blog, I’ll take you on a journey across Egypt’s sands—sharing must-see destinations, hidden gems, travel tips, and personal anecdotes from my time there. Whether you’re planning your first trip, dreaming of visiting someday, or simply curious, I hope these posts inspire you to explore this incredible country.

So, come along and let’s discover Egypt together. Welcome to “Across the Sand!”
