Very few people in the West have the privilege of seeing what Egypt is truly all about. You might come across photos of the pyramids and the Nile River on most platforms and image hosts on the Internet, but you don't often see photos from the markets in Cairo, the fish market in Alexandria, and all the amazing temples you would visit if you ever travel to Luxor.

That being said, there is an online community on Reddit, r/Egypt, where people share photos that provide a deeper look into the beautiful country of Egypt. These images go beyond the famous tourist spots and statues, highlighting all the other amazing things that the country has to offer, which aren't always included in promotional tourism videos and pamphlets.
