I'd just like to add some techniques I've heard as well. The two that were already mentioned may be the most effective, but if they don't work there are a couple other things you might try. I'll continue with the Egypt example.

You could imagine that Egypt is right behind you and when you turn around you will be there. Also, you could even take a very short flight there and get off the plain near the pyramids or something. You could close your eyes and when you open them you'll be where you want to be. Really, just use your imagination. Anything is possible if you are confident that it will happen.

Also, just keep in mind that wherever you go, it's just a projection from your mind. So whatever you see, it may not be entirely accurate, though it may be partially due to the pictures that you've seen. But that doesn't mean it wouldn't be fun! It'd be interesting to see what the mind can come up with.
