Degla Protected is located in Maadi, Cairo, and you can escape from the city noise by doing camping, hiking, and bike riding, where you can do a lot of activities or barbecue.
I went there twice, but this time I walked long distances for the first time, as there was about 12.5 km to reach the last point which is a white canyon and you have to walk back and forth because there is only exit. By adding the distance, it becomes 25 km, walking back and forth. I advise anyone who comes to Egypt to visit it.
