Hi everyone! I’m Rana, an extrovert introvert Virgo who just turned 25, a digital nomad and a free soul who likes camping, hiking, sightseeing, swimming, and so much more… The ocean, sun, sea, desert and wildness have my heart. 🏜🐪 I’ve been moving around locally for quite sometime now and planning on my first solo trip outside the country somewhere around July 2023 to Sep 2023, looking for a travel buddy or a meet up🥰

In Alexandria, check out the Library of Alexandria, the Qutbay Fortress, the Royal Jewelry Museum, the Greco-Roman Museum, and the Corniche. Alexandria is known for its villas and cafes as well as seafood and the Mediterranean. Cafe Trianon is delicious and the ambience is all that. Spend some time in Alexandria if you’re looking for some down time. There’s fewer tourists than say Luxor, Aswan, and Cairo. Pick-up some Arabic along the way while English is spoken by some, it’s less than upper Egypt and Cairo.
