Tour egypt

Egypt - the cradle of civilization. Have you ever
wanted to see an actual pyramid, to marvel at the
most breathtaking architectural works in all of
history? Or enter one and explore the exciting
tunnels and chasms within? Have you ever imagined
yourself visiting the tomb of an ancient king and
inspecting priceless pieces of ancient Egyptian
culture?


The most popular Egyptian tours are visits to
Pyramids and museums of ancient civilizations.
Within these Ancient 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 religious importance. 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, usually dependent on how
much you want to see and how long you plan to
stay. Highlights of the tours include the Giza (
Great Pyramid) and the Saqqara (Step) Pyramids,
the Citadel, 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 at least one or two of the
many fine monuments and tombs found on the West
Bank, which will prove to be welcome escapes from
the heat of the city. Make sure to also visit the
Luxor and Karnak temples and the highly popular
Luxor museum, all on the East Bank.

Although you can fly or take a train between
Cairo, Luxor and Aswan, i highly recommend the
bus rides between Luxor and Aswan, as these trips
usually have stopovers at popular, historic
monuments along the way. In Aswan, you could tour
Elephantine Island, the Nubian museum and the
unfinished Obelisk, the High Dam and St. Simon’s
Monastery. If you have an extra day to spare, you
could also visit the temples of Abu Simbel, and
have more time to see Aswan’s many other
attractions.

Religious tours are also highly popular, such as
the Holy Family route and the Exodus route, as
well as tours of Islamic mosques. You can just
imagine Moses leading the chosen people out of
Egypt as you follow in their steps. Unstructured
religious 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 vacation for
the adventurer in you, and a great educational
trip for the entire family, especially if you
have around two weeks to spare. Aside from
soaking up the amazing ancient cultures, you'll
also get to meet a people who are wonderfully
accommodating and friendly. So, go to egypt
soon! and get started on the vacation of a lifetime
.
