The verdict

For most travellers, the choice comes down to what kind of week you're really after. Canada leans nature + mountain, while Egypt leans cultural. Egypt wins on value (~$70/day mid-range vs $170/day in Canada), but Canada tends to deliver a more polished, higher-spend experience. Neither is wrong — pick by personality, not by ranking.

Pick Egypt if…
