Egypt is a country where rich tapestry incredibly intermingles with modern life in an eternal balance.

The name "Egypt" conjures dramatic visions of gigantic, towering pyramids, what seems like infinite expanses of brilliant, sand-covered deserts, and gigantic temples standing proudly through the ages. But Egypt is far more than a few celebrated and iconic attractions-a pulsing, vivid landscape, full of life and rich in vivid colors, where history still breathes active life into the modern culture that has stood to this date, each nook and corner whispering a certain tale begging to be listened to, and intoxicating adventures behind every bend and corner for the bold traveler who dares to venture into the country. And that is what Egypt tours promise-an experience for those travelers where the goal is to have much more than a feel-good holiday, unlike anywhere else in the world. This is a stunning balance of rich history, heart-stopping natural beauty, and a kaleidoscope of vibrant traditions deeply etched into the local culture.

Further away, find the source of civilization.

Pyramids of Giza and Further Wonders Giza's Pyramids form a crowning glory of all the attractions in Egypt. As astounding, beautiful, and spectacular, these pyramids are today as they were when first built several millennia ago. But only a few really think that such magnificent monuments show just a glimpse of what can be seen at this historical site. An incredibly well-preserved ancient water vessel, reportedly used for transporting pharaohs on their trip to afterlife, is kept in an amazing Solar Boat Museum lying on historic Giza Plateau.
More information on the development of Egyptian architecture beyond Giza can be seen in the Step Pyramid of Djoser at Saqqara, the first big stone structure in history.

Temples of Eternal and Unfading Beaut:

Luxor is often referred to as the world's greatest open-air museum, home to the magnificent Karnak Temple complex and the resplendent, enchanting Luxor Temple. These two great houses are breathtakingly beautiful under the sun during the day, but it is quite another story in terms of their greatness and magical appearance when visitors from everywhere crowd the place to attend the sound-and-light shows at night. Meanwhile, alongside the city of Aswan, stand the huge twin temples of Abu Simbel, ingeniously carved into the face of a towering mountainside by the remarkable Ramses II, standing proudly, testifying to the engineering genius of that great ancient civilization.

The Valley of the Kings and Queens: A Mystery

Beneath the golden sands of Luxor lies a weirdly wonderful land of a graveyard-a graveyard of royal tombs, actually-from times of yore. The name given to this celebrated place is the Valley of the Kings. This provided an amazing insight into the elaborately observed afterlife rituals in ancient Egypt. Equally fascinating, though less known, is another enchantress nearby: the Valley of the Queens has its own magic, with, of course, the colorfully painted and enchanting tomb of Queen Nefertari, an important witness that could have left visitors speechless.

The Nile, mysterious, a telling river, so interesting.

For thousands of years, the Nile River has formed the heartbeat of Egypt, nourishing the extensive tract of fertile land alongside and almost connecting as a vein the various people around this ancient civilization. A Nile cruise is rather not one of those pleasant voyages along tranquil water but an experience wherein the historically rich culture of the region can be lived by travelers. You would be visiting some of the most interesting historical sites while sailing in style from Luxor to Aswan or vice-versa, depending upon your choice of route. These include the magnificent Temple of Edfu, which was dedicated to the falcon god Horus, and the intriguing Temple of Kom Ombo, shared by two gods: Sobek and Haroeris.

**Cities Bustling with Life in Egypt

Cairo has remained a mystery as it is the royal entrance to Ancient and Modern Egypt.
In Cairo, energy overflows, emanating from the intoxicating mixture of ancient wonder, modern captivating attractions, and the coming together of all kinds of different peoples from across the world. In the Egyptian Museum, treasures are abundant, but most striking must be the gilded mask of Tutankhamun, the enfant terrible of ancient Egypt, who continues to mesmerize everyone who looks upon him. The recently opened Grand Egyptian Museum will also be a state-of-the-art exhibition facility showcasing Egypt's rich and diversified cultural heritage in a manner that the world has never seen. History spills out onto Islamic Cairo, a historic district that houses significant monuments such as the imposing Citadel of Saladin and the theological seat of learning, Al-Azhar Mosque, inviting travelers to drown in the greatness of the country's medieval era. And, of course, the alive-and-kicking experience of bargaining for unique souvenirs amidst the flashing colors of the Khan El Khalili Bazaar-where treasures, really, are simply dying to be unearthed.

Alexandria: The Treasure of the Mediterranean Sea

Alexandria was founded by Alexander the Great, and the city is really dominated by its Greco-Roman and Egyptian heritage. Besides being honored with the modern Bibliotheca Alexandrina, it is home to a number of ancient attractions such as the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, the Qaitbay Citadel that guards the ruins of the famous Lighthouse of Alexandria.

Wonders of Nature and Adventures

The Sahara Desert: Boundless-the Siwa Mirage

The deserts of Egypt are simply great, amazing-just those things that stir the imagination and impress. Visiting White Desert National Park can actually feel just like standing on another planet, with surreal and out-of-this-world limestone formations taking one back into the depths of a post-apocalyptic alien landscape. Siwa Oasis, known for its salt lakes and the long-abandoned oracle temple, is a place of serious and peaceful retreat, either to rejuvenate the spirit or to engage in marvelous star-gazing in some of the clearest and most magical skies anywhere in the world.

Red Sea Riviera: 

Amazingly Fantastic and Enchanting The Red Sea coast of Egypt is a dream of the sun, sand, and sea for every weatherist. Among the major resorts, world-class diving and snorkeling on reefs teeming with life await in Sharm El Sheikh and Hurghada, while for a more secluded escape, the town of Marsa Alam boasts pristine beaches and unparalleled underwater adventures.
