You have probably heard of Phuket plenty of times and it was mentioned by many lists as the place that you should visit. However, this place is not worth the hype due to the fact that it\u2019s very overcrowded when it\u2019s the high season, and if you plan on having a relaxing time, you can forget about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Tourism has been declining in Egypt for many reasons, one of them being safety and the other being the traffic. You\u2019re also very likely to fall into many tourist traps, as people will try to make you overpay for things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
