Egypt brings many images to mind: colossal pyramids and gilded tombs,
opulent pharaohs and omnipotent gods, the mighty Nile River and its
dams. It is a country with an astoundingly rich past, so much so that
most visitors probably know more about what Egypt was like 3000 years
ago than about the modern-day state.
Cairo , the capital is the place to
start. It has the Pyramids, th Sphinxs, the Egyptian Museum, many more
sights and more than ten million cairenes to share the experience. Alexandria , the second city
of the country has its fair share of historic sights as well and with
its location on the Mediterranean it is an ideal spot for your
holidays.
The south of Egypt has many impressive temples and graves from Pharaonic times.
Luxor ,
Aswan and Abu Simbel should all be on your to do list.
The Red Sea has great scuba diving :
Hurghada is world famous for its under water world.
