Egypt – the cradle of civilization.  Have you ever needed to see a pyramid, to wonder at the most breathtaking architectural works in all of history?  Or enter one and explore the exciting tunnels and chasms within?  Ever imagined yourself visiting the tomb of an ancient king and inspecting precious pieces of ancient Egyptian culture? 

the most popular Egyptian tours are visits to Pyramids and museums of ancient civilizations.  Inside these traditional Egypt Tours that are generally of a Pharoanic nature, you will be able to tour Cairo, Luxor and Aswan, and see not only awesome markers of ancient Egyptian history, but also landmarks of non secular significance.  You can also organize your tour to even include a cruise down the Nile river as well. 

there are several tours on offer, some with definite itineraries, others organized according to your desired route, often depending on how much you would like to see and how long you intend to stay.  Highlights of the tours include the Giza ( Great Pyramid ) and the Saqqara ( Step ) Pyramids, the castle, an Islamic market called Khan el-Khalili, as well as other markets, churches and museums, all in Cairo.  In Luxor, the must-see landmarks would be 1 or 2 of the many fine monuments and tombs found on the West Bank, which will prove to be welcome escapes from the heat of the town.  Make sure to also visit the Luxor and Karnak temples and the highly popular Luxor museum, all on the East Bank. 

though you can fly or catch a train between Cairo, Luxor and Aswan, we highly recommend the bus rides between Luxor and Aswan, as these trips sometimes have stopovers at popular, historic monuments on the way.  In Aswan, you could tour Elephantine Island, the Nubian museum and the half finished Obelisk, the High Dam and St.  Simon’s priory.  If you’ve got an additional day to spare, you could also visit the temples of Abu Simbel, and have more time to see Aswan’s plenty of other attractions. 

religious tours are also highly preferred,eg the Holy Family route and the Exodus route, as well as tours of Islamic mosques.  You can imagine Moses leading the chosen folk out of Egypt as you follow in their steps.  Unstructured non secular tours are also on offer, allowing you to see highlights from either the Holy Family and Exodus routes, as well as monuments found in the Pharoanic tours. 

The ancient Egypt Tour is the ideal holiday for the daredevil in you, and a great tutorial trip for the whole family, particularly if you have around 2 weeks to spare.  Except for soaking up the fantastic traditional cultures, you may also get to meet a people who are wonderfully accommodating and friendly.
