Pick by what you want
🇪🇬 Choose Egypt if
you want the oldest thing on this list, a river trip through it, and Red Sea diving, at prices nowhere in Europe matches.
🇬🇪 Choose Georgia if
you want the Caucasus, eight thousand years of wine and food nobody has heard of yet, on the smallest budget in Europe.
