Greetings everyone.
This is the first time I am posting about this topic here, as I have not seen other threads covering it in detail. I have no idea what reaction I am going to get from this, but I really felt I should write this as an informative post based on self-experience acting as a guide for Zevists.
After visiting around half of Europe and then visiting Egypt, I can truly say that Egypt is a country in my top 3 already. Some of its locations are truly special, especially if you are a Zevist. I have found peace, love and clarity there.
Part 1 - First Time in Egypt
If you come to Egypt without prior knowledge or experience, you will most likely feel disappointed at first. Many people will try to overcharge you, and the general condition of the infrastructure and streets can be overwhelming.
I traveled with a second mobile phone that I used as a hotspot. My main phone had a modified OS, VPN, and no SIM card, so I could access ToZ without worrying.
When I visited Egypt, I went to see the pyramids and was genuinely amazed by the ancient history. However, the overall experience felt strange. It almost felt like there was a conspiracy so that you “enjoy it quickly and leave.” as the areas where locals live around the pyramids look neglected, although a local told me that a lot of foreign money is being invested into new resorts nearby, so this might change in the future.
I stayed in Giza just because of the pyramids' energy for about two weeks to see if it was worth spending more time there. I also went to Cairo, which I personally found extremely crowded and chaotic.
It is very difficult to meditate or find real silence in those cities. Even hotels that advertise soundproof rooms are affected by constant motorcycle and car horns starting early in the morning. If you plan to stay longer near the pyramids for meditation or reflection, be very careful with what you book online. If you are not confident negotiating or dealing with locals, I would strongly suggest getting a guide.
One exception is New Cairo. It feels modern and clean and is comparable to parts of the UAE at least if you compare photos and videos between the two. It is nothing like the negative videos people often show online about Egypt. That said, it is more than an hour away from the pyramids and is basically a city built in the desert.
At one point, I seriously considered leaving Egypt. There are always cheap flights from Egypt to most European countries. In the end, I decided to stay for initially a few good reasons. I liked the energy and the cost of living. The God rituals felt amplified. It was as if energy flowed better simply because I was in this region of the Earth. Many times I felt like the Gods were paving the way for me even more than usual. Some things seemed unrealistic to build up, sometimes I thought it is too good to be true.
At the same time, if I set aside the ancient history and the pyramids from the picture, the country structure itself felt like a complete mess in my view.
Part 2 - The Glitch in the Matrix
I started looking online to see where people usually go when visiting Egypt besides the historic places, and that is how I came across the Red Sea region. I needed a place where it would actually be quiet, where silence really means silence.
Even now, I am still amazed at how I ended up there. Imagine the following:
Good weather. Hot summers & around 20 to 25 degrees during the day in winter, and around 12 to 15 during night.
Very low humidity compared to places like Thailand, India, or Indonesia.
Very low risk of natural disasters.
An airport that is surprisingly well connected to most European airports, same flights almost every day.
And something very important and unexpected:
A safety bubble compared to the general safety index of Egypt. This exists because of gated communities, private resorts with their own beaches and security, and well paid police officers who prioritize tourist safety.
Egyptian prisons are known to be horrible, and punishments for crimes are very severe. Locals are extremely afraid of harming tourists. I spoke with many locals who confirmed that the police and tourism police always prioritize tourists.
In the Red Sea resort areas, if there is a problem between a tourist and an Egyptian and the police are called, they accuse the local immediately no matter the circumstances simply because an escalation happened. Tourism is the biggest source of income for Egypt, and after many problems in the past, they are doing everything they can to protect their image.
According to statistics, at least 20 to 25 thousand Russians and around 10 to 20 thousand Germans live along the Red Sea coast. They are spread across different compounds and resorts over roughly 50-55 km of coastline.
I have spoken with a German that told me diving is better than in all of Europe and anywhere else because of the crystal clear water and low prices.
Where to Stay on the Red Sea Coast?
I am trying not to sound like an agency offering you a vacation. I just want to share which places are actually peaceful and safe based on my experience, and which ones could be avoided.
The coastline I am talking about is in Hurghada and stretches from El Gouna in the southeast of Egypt down south to Makadi Bay and Soma Bay. If you look up these places and have not seen them before, you will immediately notice how different they are from most other parts of Egypt.
You might say that these are all 4 to 5 star hotel areas and that it is normal for them to be good, with prices around 200 to 300 dollars per night. That is true. However, around those hotels there are many compounds and aparthotel-like resorts. A lot of people invest in real estate there and rent out their properties on the major platforms.
If you set the stay duration to one month when booking, you can often find very good 1-bedroom apartments for around 200 to 500 dollars per month, depending on the season and exact location. Renting directly from developers/owners on social media/calling them or even using agencies could be most of the time cheaper.
I have been to most of the places there so I created a list:
I will first start with the most expensive place.
El Gouna is the most gated and controlled community in the region.
Rent usually starts at around 700 dollars and goes up, with an average around 1.000-2.000 dollars. It is the most expensive part of the whole Red Sea.
40-50% of the 20-25 thousand polulation of El Gouna consists of German, English and Scandinavian expats from Europe.
Remember, this is the most expensive place.
(I will not mention the approx. $ of every one of them like a real estate broker, as they differ in price, but just so you can compare to other parts of the world I mentioned it here.)
Many well known Egyptian public figures own property there.
El Gouna feels completely detached from the chaos found in most other parts of Egypt and offers a feeling of order and calm that is very rare in the country.
It is so international that some Egyptian parents raise their children without even teaching them their Arabic mother language.
The Hurghada resort area, means the whole stretch that starts from El Gouna and goes all the way down to Soma Bay. It’s not one single city, but a long chain of resorts, bays, and gated communities that all blend into each other if you spend enough time there.
In between, you have places like Makadi Bay and smaller bays that are mostly resort focused and quiet. These areas are built almost entirely around tourism, so the atmosphere is very different from regular Egyptian cities. People working there depend directly on tourists, and you feel that in how you’re treated.
Sahl Hasheesh is a hidden gem. It’s a planned area, very controlled, very clean, and gated. You don’t really pass through it unless you are staying there. It exists more like a sealed resort zone than part of the normal Red Sea strip. One of the most amazing places I have been to.
Intercontinental District and Sahl Hasheesh is where mostly russians live from all the expats afaik.
In the north of Hurghada city, you have areas like Al Ahyaa/Abu Shaar and other nearby neighborhoods and there you’ll find mostly people working in the tourism sector, who are used to foreigners and who generally care about tourists.(Most workers even in the expensive resorts get around 100-150$ salary and depend on commissions+tips). A lot of people who work in El Gouna live there. Those places are not fully like the previous I have mentioned yet, even tho there are at least half a dozen good compounds. (Because of that, the vibe is different from the Hurghada Centre/Sheraton St./Marina and El Kawther/El Mamsha areas- Most chaotic to least chaotic. Avoid the cheap hotels around this area.)
What’s important is that once you’re in those places, the situation is always very calm. Compounds with swimming pools, controlled access, security everywhere, and a population that is either expat, tourism workers, or locals who have been dealing with foreigners for years. It feels like a completely different Egypt compared to Cairo or Giza.
That’s why many people who come to Egypt for the first time and struggle with the chaos end up relocating here. It’s calmer, more predictable, and you can actually relax without being constantly worried about anything.
Part 3. Conclusion
Since I came in Egypt I felt like this is the centre of Earth. Those pyramids are mindblowing in real life. The energy field is very strong. And the enemy is close. It really feels different when I do the God Rituals.
If you have friends or a significant one and you haven't visited Egypt, I strongly recommend it. The energy of the Gods and the Great Civilization it once was, can be felt very strongly, I assure you.
The places I specifically mentioned, are comparable and sometimes even better than good resort places I have been to in more developed countries. The big expat population assures you that a lot of people have found this sunny place and chose it as a relocation or a second home. The country is not full of job opportunities for expats as the salaries are low and even higher-paying jobs can not match the salaries of other countries so it is best if you work remotely.
I hope this post acts as a guide to many Zevists that will visit Egypt one day or plan to stay longer. If anybody has any questions about anything how it works in the country, you can ask me about anything anytime.
Thanks for reading! May the Gods bless us all!
