 The Best Egypt Attractions Tours:

1- The Pyramids of Giza

The three main pyramids of Giza are Cheops, Khafre, and Menkaure. In addition to these, there are many other minor pyramids.

Khufu

Also known as the Great Pyramid of Giza, Cheops (Khufu) is the largest pyramid, as well as the most important of all. It has a height of 140 meters and stands on a massive base of 230 meters (almost 1 kilometer in perimeter).

Khafre

The Pyramid of Khafre is the second largest in Egypt after that of Cheops, and it is currently the only one of the pyramids that retain a small part of its old white limestone coating.

Menkaure

The Pyramid of Menkaure is the smallest of the group, but no less interesting for that. Its height is 66 meters, and its base has a little more than 100 meters on each side.

2- The Museum of Egypt

Right next to Tahrir Square, the center of Cairo. Every trip to Egypt should include a stop at the Egyptian Museum. In 1902, the Egyptian Museum opened to collect and show off things from Ancient Egypt. Inside, you can see the most extensive collection of ancient Egyptian artifacts worldwide. There are about 120,000 things to find, such as the treasures that Tutankhamun buried with him. Most mummies have been seen since the 1800s, and the exhibition spans the period from the dawn of the Egyptian Empire (about 2700 BC) to the Greco-Roman era.

3- Sharm el-Sheikh

Egypt has a lot to offer. It has old and new monuments, beautiful beaches, and protected wilderness areas. Sharm El Sheikh, a city on the southern tip of the Sinai peninsula, is a popular place to go to the beach in Egypt. Soaked in the Red Sea, which is known for its clean water and beautiful coral reefs. A great place to go on a boat trip. Because there is a lot of marine life, it is a great place to snorkel and scuba dive. Because Ras Mohamed is a natural reserve, the environment there has been better taken care of than in other areas. Sharm el Sheikh is a popular place to go diving, but it also has a busy nightlife with lots of places to eat, dance, and have fun.

4- Luxor

This city is a must-see for Upper (Southern) Egypt because it has some of Egypt’s oldest monuments. In the past, the town was called Thebes. It is on both the east and west sides of the Nile. Luxor is also called “The World’s Largest Open-Air Museum.” The ruins of the ancient Temple of Karnak and the Temple of Luxor, both in the modern city, can be found on the East Bank. There are several temples, tombs, and monuments from the past on the West Bank. Every year, millions of people visit places like the Temple of Hatshepsut, the Valley of the Kings, and the Valley of the Queens.

5- Aswan

Egyptians call Aswan “the city of the Nubians,” and the city is proud of its laid-back atmosphere and warm welcome. The communities are full of life and are pleased to show off their unique culture, which makes visitors feel right at home. There aren’t as many historic sites here as in Cairo or Luxor, but people love the peacefulness of a Nile cruise on a Felucca (a small sailing boat) at sunset. This contrasts with the memorable trip to the Temple of Philae, a regular trip. Near the city, near Lake Nasser, you can see Abu Simbel, the temple of Ramses II, and other places.

6- Alexandria

Alexander the Great built a city there in 331 BC and it has grown and thrived ever since. It is a gateway to Cairo and Giza. It is on a narrow peninsula between the Mediterranean Sea and Lake Mareotis. But what should someone do in Alexandria?

People also like to visit the Montaza Palace, the Khom el Shuqqafa catacombs, the fortress of Qaitibay, and the Pilar de Pompey. The world-famous Alexandria Library has a planetarium, a scientific museum, a calligraphy museum, and a place for conferences and exhibits, among other things.

7- Cruise on the Nile

The Nile River has been fascinating since ancient times, and a trip along its waters is a great way to relax and unwind. Between Aswan and Luxor, guests can choose from 4- or 5-day cruises with various amenities and itinerary options, including stops at temples and other popular tourist spots. You can also take a 15-day cruise from Cairo to Aswan, including all meals, entertainment, and sightseeing trips.

8- Khan el Khalili

Khan el Khalili is one of the best places to shop in Egypt. It’s a great example of a traditional Arab market, and going there is like going back in time.
