There are many tours of Egypt to choose from, but how do you know which one is the best one for you? Here are a few things to keep in mind:
Luxor Temple
If you’re looking for the best things to see and do while on a vacation in Egypt, you should make a trip to Luxor, where the ancient pharaohs built some of the most magnificent monuments. During a Luxor Temple tour, you’ll see the imposing Valley of the Kings. If you’ve ever wondered what was there, you should know that the city’s tombs were carved into a hilly terrain to preserve the mummies for the second journey.
Sphinx
Sphinx tours of Egypt allow you to see the Great Sphinx, which stands 234 feet high and 66 feet long, as well as the Pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure. The Great Sphinx has no known secrets, so scientists can only guess at the exact time it was constructed. Its features suggest that it was built during the Old Kingdom, although scientists cannot say which pharaoh modeled it. The Sphinx is one of Egypt’s most popular monuments, and thousands of tour operators conduct visitors through its temples.
Temple of Kom Ombo
The Temple of Kom Ombo is an unusual double temple located in the town of Com Ombo in the Aswan Governorate, Upper Egypt. It was built during the Ptolemaic dynasty, 180-47 BC, and later received additions during the Roman period. Today, it serves as a popular tourist attraction. Here, you can learn about the construction process of this amazing site. The site is home to several different inscriptions, each indicating a different period.
Pyramids
While visiting the Pyramids of Giza, you should make sure you have enough time to climb all of them. The entrance is fenced in with cement steps and iron guardrails to protect you. The entrance is narrower as you climb and there are several segments that are only 1.5 meters high. As you climb, be sure to take extra care, as you may be tied to a tour group. The entrance to the Great Pyramid of Khufu is also extremely narrow, and you might even have to bend over to climb.
Felucca ride on the Nile
The Felucca is a traditional Egyptian sailing boat that takes you on a peaceful trip along the Nile. Whether you’re on a private Nile cruise or just a group excursion, you’re guaranteed to have a memorable time. The Nile is Egypt’s lifeblood and has remained so for millennia. Book your trip before you arrive to avoid the hassles of haggling and overpaying.
Temples & Tombs itinerary
An excellent itinerary for a tour of Egypt involves seeing the temples and tombs of the ancient Egyptian civilization. These are ancient monuments that have remained largely unaltered over the years. These ancient structures are concentrated in two main areas: the West Bank and the East Bank. The former is home to most of the modern Egyptian population, while the latter is where the ancient Egyptian buried their dead.
