Egypt
The capital city Cairo is often a good starting point, allowing tourists to whet their appetite for adventure tours with a trip to the Egyptian Museum. King Tutankhamen's gold mask is among the artefacts housed here, along with remains of many of the pharaohs. Meanwhile, the Pyramids at Giza and the Sphinx, found on the outskirts of the city, are an unmissable part of many people's Egypt holidays. Camel rides and photo opportunities await tourists in an area where history permeates every corner. Those who have been on Egypt tours usually agree that Giza and the Pyramids have a unique atmosphere that is unrivalled anywhere else in the world. These are some of the things that shouldn’t be missed when on holidays in Egypt.
Jamaica
One doesn't hear Jamaica mentioned as a prime destination for bicycle touring, but I had been yearning for some 'adventure travel' and thought I'd give it a shot over Thanksgiving week. English, or varying derivations of it, is the native tongue, and the size and geography of the country seemed to offer varied cycling. Sitting in a taxi in the grayish pre-dawn, I wondered what the week ahead might serve me. The driver asked where I was going, and told me he was from Jamaica when I responded. He cautioned me to be careful, saying it was a third world country - which I hadn't fully appreciated.
