TOURS IN EGYPT

TOURS IN  EGYPT

Egypt is located in Northern Africa, bordering the Mediterranean sea, between Libya and the Gaza strip.  Egypt could be said to have six different tourist super-sites. Each has its own flavor, and mostly each serves a different purpose. Surprisingly, or perhaps not, most of these tourist areas do not depend on ancient monuments to sustain them. In fact, only Lu xor is completely dependent on this trade.

For millennial, travelers the world over have been fascinated by Egypt. The country’s monuments were ancient even in the days of Herodotus the Greek who journeyed to Egypt to see the Pyramids and other great temples of the Pharaohs. Today, Egypt’s rich history has created a tapestry of cultural and archaeological treasures unmatched anywhere in the world.

Cairo, Egypt’s capital, is a destination in itself. A bustling and crowded metropolis full of intriguing contrasts old and new, western and oriental, modern hotels next to traditional bazaars and coffee shops, 5,000 year old pyramids and 19th century palaces. The Egyptian Museum of Antiquities houses the world’s greatest collection of Philharmonic treasure, including 12 rooms filled with the golden treasures of the boy king Tutankhamen. Travelers can also visit a host of beautiful mosques and churches that reflect Egypt’s rich cultural heritage.

Tourist Information

The great Pyramids and Sphinx of Giza are major touring highlights.  The great Pyramids completed about 5000 years ago is one of the seven wonders of the ancient world.

Wіth Cairo as the capital, Egypt is a predominantly Muslim dominant country with a small section of Christian population. Thе languages spoken commonly in Egypt are Arabic, English and French. Egyptian Pound is the currency used in Egypt.

From iconic pyramids and medieval bazaars, to natural beauty and a vibrant contemporary culture, Egypt is a land packed with captivating treasures.Egypt's natural assets are equally as potent, with the white desert's wind-polished rock formations, the iron-clad mountains of the Sinai, and the gleaming underwater landscapes of the Red Sea.

A pulsing modern Arab state throbs beneath the surface, and, ultimately, Egypt is best understood not so much under the shadow of its great monuments, splendid though they are, but in the call to prayer at sunset, in the chatter of hooves on tarmac in a rural village, or tea and talk with Egypt's garrulous residents in a random coffeehouse.
