Egypt is such a mood. "I met a traveller from an antique land"
I'd like to have Egypt back in game it honestly was a lot of fun in Sims 3. I would do it much like World Adventures I think with exception of the hostels was almost a perfect pack. I have a few other things in mind as well. I've actually visited there so I have a few ideas on what I'd like to see.
When I come up with pack ideas I usually like to be thorough so I included a new career, harvestables and lots of things to see and do regardless if you are a family player or if you like the adventure aspects.

This is the Old Cataract Hotel in Aswan. Agatha Christie wrote "Death on the Nile" here. If it were me doing the design I'd mimic this hotel because of its significance. Plus it just scream world traveler. I never went in but I saw it from my felucca.
