  8. Unlocking the GEM - Stories of Egypt with Tarek and Rania

    Unlocking the GEM - Stories of Egypt with Tarek and Rania

    This week on Travel for Curious Minds, we’re dipping into the archives with an episode from April 2022—originally recorded for our sister podcast. Abbey came live from World Travel Market, joined by our Egypt partners Tarek and Rania. They talked Nile cruises—both the classic routes and the little-known stretches of the river—and shared early insights on the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM). Rania had even visited before it officially opened. Why bring it back now? Because our MD, Debbie O’Neill, has just returned from Egypt and visited the newly opened GEM herself. So think of this as part one. Next week, Debbie brings a fresh update on the museum, her tour, and what Egypt has in store for 2026.
