Egypt is generally safe, but it's advisable to follow travel advisories and local guidance.
1. Cairo: A Tapestry of History and Culture
Begin your Egyptian odyssey in Cairo, the vibrant capital. Visit the iconic Egyptian Museum to witness a vast collection of ancient artefacts, including the treasures of Tutankhamun. Stroll through the winding lanes of Khan El Khalili bazaar and immerse yourself in the bustling atmosphere.
2. The Great Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx
No trip to Egypt is complete without seeing the Great Pyramids of Giza and the enigmatic Sphinx. These ancient wonders, standing on the outskirts of Cairo, are a testament to the ingenuity of the ancient Egyptians and are sure to leave you in awe.
3. Luxor: The World's Greatest Open-Air Museum
Travel to Luxor, often referred to as the world's greatest open-air museum. Here, the Valley of the Kings, the majestic Karnak Temple, and the Temple of Luxor await exploration. Each monument tells a story of ancient dynasties and gods.
4. Aswan: Nubian Culture and Tranquil Beauty
Further south, Aswan offers a more tranquil experience. Cruise along the Nile, explore the colourful Nubian villages, and visit the Philae Temple, dedicated to the goddess Isis. Don’t miss the chance to see the impressive Aswan High Dam.
5. Abu Simbel: Ramses II's Sun Temple
A journey to Abu Simbel to see the colossal temples of Ramses II and Queen Nefertari is a must. These awe-inspiring structures were miraculously relocated in the 1960s and are a highlight of any Egyptian tour.
Egyptian Cuisine: A Feast for the Senses
Egyptian cuisine is rich and varied, with influences from the Mediterranean and the Middle East. Savour dishes like koshari, ful medames, and moussaka. Finish with a sweet treat like baklava or basbousa, accompanied by a cup of mint tea.
