Egypt, off the map
Signature series · long-form + reels
Road trips to the Egypt most Egyptians never see: the New Valley oases, the peaks of Sinai, Wadi El Tala and the sun festival at Abu Simbel. Each trip becomes a day-by-day YouTube series, then a run of reels cut from it. Many of these trips run again with Travel Buddies, so your audience can join the next one.
