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 Places to Visit

Pyramids
The Egyptian Museum
The Hanging Church
Valley of the Kings
The Castle of Qait bay
Red sea coast
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.

Many European budget airlines, including Ryan air and Easy jet, fly to Denmark. Many cheap flights and some flights from other Scandinavian countries land at smaller airports around the country.

 
The Danish public transportation network is modern and efficient, and trains and buses cover most areas. Thanks to its small size, the country is also easy to get around by car or by motorbike, but renting a car in Denmark can be expensive.

There are now various Motherlands in locations all over Denmark; these are activity parks where a flat entrance fee covers the visitor for use of all the many and varied facilities inside.

Denmark has an abundance of picturesque villages and towns, historic castles and monuments, and a coastline which varies delightfully from broad sandy beaches to small coves and gentle fjords.  Though there are few holiday resorts of the kind found in, say, France or Spain the Danes, who are taking strong measures to keep their coastline clean and tidy, are keen for visitors to sample the many unspoilt beaches.

The capital city of Manama is located in the main island. All the islands are low-lying; the highest point is 400 ft . Most of the land is naturally barren. However, drainage and other schemes have increased the amount of cultivable land. Summers are extremely hot and humid, and there is virtually no rain between June and November. Wintertime temperatures remain around 18ºC.

Tourist Information:

Uzbekistan has a rich history, which goes as far back as the remote ages. According to archeologists, this land is one of the most ancient man's habitats. Within the last 50 years alone there have been found here several sites of a primitive man of Stone Age. The most famous ones are Teshiktash and Amankutan.

The fertile lands, wonderful water supply, warm climate promoted the development of agriculture. The vast non-irrigated parts of deserts and steppes adjoining the agricultural areas served as pastures for cattle breeding. While evolving, the inhabitants of these lands established many-sided relations with their neighbors. Three main factors - geographical, economic and social ones, predetermined the formation on the territory of Transoxiana (the lands between Amudarya and Syrdarya) of such ancient states as Sogdiana, Bactria, Khorezm, Margiana and some others.


Modern Uzbekistan is a young secular state, which is now on the pathway to its renaissance. And one of the vivid evidences of the country's new realities is the revival of the Great Silk Road. However, it is not a recurrence to what the road used to be in the past. Time has changed and speeds have changed too. While in the past a long journey on camels could last a year or longer, today the same distances can be covered by plane in 2-3 hours. The essence of the Silk Road has remained the same though: the road still serves as an international convenient through highway for transportation of people and goods, as a channel which helps peoples and countries get to know each other better.

Ten Tashkent theaters open their doors in the evenings.. One of the theaters is the Alisher Navoiy Theater of Opera and Ballet, which was designed by the academician Tchusev. The theater's repertoire includes operas and ballets by Verdi, Bize, Tchaikovsky, as well as by modern Uzbek composers
