Discover Egypt & Jordan @discoveregypt.bsky.social · 15/09/2026We owe a great deal to Agatha Christie, one of the greatest writers, especially in crime fiction. Agatha first visited Egypt in 1908, a 17-year-old travelling to to Cairo for the winter social season. Agatha describes Egypt as “a dream of delight”, we agree, it is just that!
