Egypt or Greece?

Question

Which is better?.. and plz dont choose a country just because you are from there.. i need REAL answers. thank you =)

Answer 1

Egypt for sure

Answer 2

Both are very different countries.

Both share very ancient but DIFFERENT histories.

Greek culture is Meditterenean/European
Egyptian culture is Arab/Middle Eastern

Greece is Eastern Orthodox and Egypt is mostly Muslim

Greece depends on its seas, Egypt depends on Its Nile River.

Greece is full of mountains. Egypt is full of deserts.

Greece is more liberal and Western. Egypt is more strained and conservative.

Greece has the lowest crime rate in Europe. Egypt is the least terrorist country in the Middle East.

Greece has many more islands, and touristic spots. Also Greece is more developed, safe, and a much cleaner country. So i would choose Greece because of that. No hard feelings for the Egyptians though =) i love them all =)

Answer 3

Each is better in different ways. Egypt has amazing ancient legacy and many diverse interesting cultures. It's so much fun to explore Ancient Egypt, the dessert and the songs and dance. Greece is less interesting this way but it is a very very beautiful country. The people are also beautiful. Everything's clean.

Answer 4

Greece - Because it's a country full of History (Ex: "Cradle of Western Civilization, and home to the Olympic Games..etc.)

Also Greece has many many islands that are Cosmopolitan and beach resorts. Greece is more developed and I wouldn't feel comfortable going into a Middle Eastern country. That's my opinion.

Answer 5

They two very different countries and so it is very difficult to attempt to compare them. They speak different languages,have very different belief systems,(in general) and have very different topography and climate.
But each has inherited an amazing amount of culture from their past ancient civilizations.
Greece is much more Cosmopolitan and European while Egypt is Middle Eastern even though it is in Africa.
If you are chosing for a holiday then it really comes down to which ancient civilization holds the most fascination for you.
for both countries have beach or seaside resorts where you can lazr on the beach or crise on the water.
There is also a great night life in both Cairo and Athens.
Your money will go a lot further in Egypt if you are from a western country, so I guess you haver to weigh all those aspects up.
Personally I would have to choose Egypt.
As having spent time in Greece and the Greek Islands I can honestly say that there is nothing,no country on this earth that holds the magic,the splendor and majesty of ancient times and blends it with the frenetic madness of the modern age than Egypt.
So much so that I left Australia, which is a very different country and culture to both, to come and live here in Egypt.

Answer 11

You've got to be a real cut and dry person. I'll tell you how to tell what a cool country is. Walk accross the border and smell what it must of felt like when people really roamed the earth and didn't know what the next valley would reveal. Myself, it's hard to beat retsina.
