Is This Hostel in Beirut for Solo Travelers?

Your choice of accommodation varies, telling a lot about what kind of traveler you are, and yours truly is a huge sucker for hostels. Hamra Urban Gardens (HUG), a hostel in Beirut, seemed to meet my set of criteria and when I stayed there for 9 days, it surely exceeded my expectations. That being said, I […]

Did you know that Egyptians have a spring holiday Did you know that Egyptians have a spring holiday that goes all the way back to Ancient Egyptian times? 🇪🇬🌻
Sham El Nessim has nothing to do with Easter, though the timing may trick you into thinking otherwise. 
It’s actually a quite interesting tradition that’s been passed down for thousands of years. And the package comes with coloring eggs, salty fish, that are not for the faint-hearted, and a whole lot of green onions!
Swipe through for everything you need to know about the ancient holiday.
And happy Sham El Nessim if you’re celebrating!

In ancient Egypt, scarabs (dung beetles) symbolize In ancient Egypt, scarabs (dung beetles) symbolized growth, rebirth, and transformation 🪲 People wore scarab amulets for good luck and protection, and honestly, I’ve been obsessed with scarabs for as long as I can remember.
Anyhoo, legend has it that circling this scarab statue in Karnak Temple, Luxor, brings good fortune. Some say you should do 3 laps, others insist on 7, while some believe 3 brings luck and 7 brings a baby! There’s also a version where 3 is for luck, 7 for marriage, and 9 for pregnancy.
How the ritual started isn’t clear, but people still do it for fun anyway. 3 laps for good luck were more than enough for us 😅
How many laps would you do? 👀
