You Yeehaw-ing Me? How Far Is Egypt From Texas?
Howdy, partners! Ever looked out at your dusty West Texas ranch (or maybe your slightly-less-dusty Houston apartment) and thought, "Man, I could really use a pyramid in my life right now?" Well, hold your ten-gallon hats because you might be surprised at just how far a Pharaoh's fling is from your friendly neighborhood armadillo.
Spoiler Alert: It's a Looooong Way
We're talking about a trip that would make even Wyatt Earp say "Yeehaw, that's a far piece!" Clocking in at a cool 11,355 kilometers (or about 7,058 miles), Egypt is about as far from Texas as you can get without leaving the continental plane of existence.
That's farther than you could chuck a lasso at a runaway steer, farther than a tumbleweed could blow in a lifetime, and definitely farther than you'd want to walk in your best two-step boots.
But Wait! There's More!
Now, before you start hitchin' up your wagon and training your pet roadrunner for the journey, here are a few things to consider:
- Camels Not Included: You might be picturing a majestic caravan journey across the desert, but unless you're packing some serious supplies (and a whole lotta sunscreen), that ain't happening.
- The Atlantic Ocean Might Object: There's a whole lotta water between Texas and Egypt, and unless you're planning on swimming with the fishes (not recommended), you'll need a plane or a boat.
- Mummies Don't Fly (Usually): While you might dream of unearthing hidden treasures, don't expect the friendly neighborhood mummy to join you on your trip.
So, You Still Wanna Go?
Hey, if you've got the wanderlust and the cash to burn, then more power to you! Just remember to pack your cowboy hat, some good ol' Texas charm, and maybe a phrasebook for Arabic (it'll come in handy).
But hey, if the thought of that long flight has you yearning for wide-open spaces a little closer to home, there's always Big Bend National Park. You might not find pyramids, but you'll find wide-open skies, plenty of cacti, and maybe even a roadrunner or two (just don't try to outrun one).
So, there you have it, folks! The answer to the age-old question (or at least the question you just Googled) of how far Egypt is from Texas. Now git out there and explore, y'all! Just maybe choose a destination a little closer to home for your first adventure.
