What to See in Egypt?

One of the first things you need to remember is that the country is divided into different parts.

Lower Egypt: Cairo and Alexandria are in this area, along with the northern Nile delta and the Mediterranean coast.

Middle Egypt: This is primarily the part of Egypt that tourists can see and runs along the Nile River.

Upper Egypt:  Some of the most interesting historical sites in this country are in the southern part of the Nile River Valley. Some of these places may be close to each other.

Sahara Desert: Two different deserts make up the Sahara, and the Nile River separates the Eastern Desert from the Western Desert. In contrast to the Western Desert, which has several oases doing well, the Eastern Desert, except for the coast, is full of permanent human settlements.

The Red Sea Coast:  This part of the country is well-known all over the country for its beautiful beaches and family-friendly resorts. Also, scuba divers and snorkelers worldwide go there because it is a great place.

Sinai Peninsula:  A remote peninsula that is great for land tours of historical sites, trekking, hiking, and other outdoor activities.

 

Top Egypt Sightseeing Tours:

 

1- Alexandria

The three pyramids of Giza, one of the most visited places in Egypt, are one of the country’s most famous landmarks. We still don’t know how it was built initially, and King Khufu ordered the building of the first and most significant one, Cheops. People often say that the second-largest and smallest of the three pyramids was built by King Khafre, who was King Khufu’s son.

The name is said to have been made up by King Menkaure, King Cheops’ grandson. Nearby is the Sphinx, which has a human head and a lion’s body. And the Temple of King Khafre in the Valley.

 

2- Aswan

The hotel is near the center of Cairo and right next to Tahrir Square. It would be best to visit the Egyptian Museum to see some of Egypt’s best sights. In 1902, the Egyptian Museum opened for the first time to show things from Ancient Egypt.

The world’s most extensive collection of ancient Egyptian artifacts is in the middle of the country. About 120,000 things could be found here, including Tutankhamun’s grave goods. The majority of mummies have been seen since the 1800s. The exhibit goes from about 2700 BC, when the Egyptian Empire began, to the Greco-Roman period.

 

3- Sharm El Sheikh

Egypt is a country with many different things to see and do. It has ancient and modern wonders, as well as many beautiful beaches and protected natural areas. Sharm El Sheikh is a lovely resort town on the tip of the Sinai Peninsula, a seaside city. It is surrounded by the warm, clear waters of the Red Sea, which is famous for its beautiful coral reefs.

It’s a great place to go out on a boat. The area is a snorkeler’s and diver’s dream because it has many kinds of marine life. Even more so at the Ras Mohamed nature reserve, where the environment has been better-taken care of. Sharm El Sheikh is known for its excellent diving but has a lively restaurant, bar, and club scene.

 

4- Luxor

This is the most famous city in Upper (Southern) Egypt, and some of the oldest Egyptian ruins can be found there. The ancient name of the Nile town on both the east and west sides was Thebes. Luxor has been called “the world’s largest open-air museum.” The ancient West Bank temples of Karnak and Luxor are a part of the modern East Bank.

Many historical sites on the West Bank include temples, tombs, and monuments. Places like the Hatshepsut Temple, Valley of the Kings, and Valley of the Queens get a lot of visitors every year.

 

5- Egyptian Museum

Egyptians call Aswan “the city of the Nubians,” and the city is proud of its laid-back atmosphere and warm welcome. Many of its towns are pleased to show off their unique customs and ways of life, making tourists feel at home.

There aren’t as many historic sites here as in Cairo or Luxor, but people love taking a peaceful Nile cruise on a Felucca (a small sailing boat) at sunset. And the crazy trip to the Temple of Philae. Lake Nasser is just outside of the city. There, you can see Abu Simbel, the temple of the ancient pharaoh Ramses II, and other sites.

 

6- Pyramids of Giza

Alexander the Great founded a city in 331 BC. It is located in a very fertile part of the world, on a narrow peninsula between the Mediterranean Sea and Lake Mareotis. It is a port for getting to Cairo and Giza. Still, the question is what people should do while they are in Alexandria.

Some of the most popular places to see in the area are the Montaza Palace, the Khom el Shuqqafa catacombs, the Qaitibay fortress, and Pilar de Pompey. The world-famous Alexandria Library has a planetarium, a science museum, a calligraphy museum, and a place for conferences and exhibits, among other things.

 

7- Cruise on the Nile

The Nile River has been a source of inspiration since ancient times, and a trip along its waters today is a relaxing and enjoyable way to spend time. On a four or 5-day cruise with all the amenities, you can find out about the temples and monuments between Aswan and Luxor and take tours of them. A 15-day cruise from Cairo to Aswan is also available. Passengers can enjoy all meals, entertainment, and ship features during this time.

 

8- Khan el Khalili

Most people agree that the Egyptian market of Khan el Khalili is one of the country’s best. If you go there as a tourist, you’ll be able to see the old Arab market. You can buy anything here, from oriental carpets and gold to clothes and perfume to ancient artifacts and papyrus.

These things are sold by merchants who speak many languages to attract tourists. The hotel is right in the middle of Old Cairo, known for its many historical sites, museums, and traditional tea shops.

 

9- Cave Church

Christians who visit Cairo often look for this place, even though few tourists know it’s there. The massive temple on the Orthodox Christian compound can fit more than 20,000 people and is now the biggest church in the Middle East.

Many cave churches can be found on Mokattam Mountain, often called “the City of Garbage.” The most prominent temples and parts of the rocky walls around them had carvings of Bible verses and scenes.

 

10- Citadel of Saladin

The Citadel of Saladin is one of Egypt’s most impressive sights. In 1183, on her way to the top of the mountain, she stopped at the Citadel of Saladin. It was the center of the defenses built to protect the city from attacks by European Crusader troops, and it was also the seat of Egyptian power for 700 years.

The Alabaster Mosque is one of the most well-known places in Cairo, and the city’s east side is dominated by its shape. Inside the Citadel, you can find a second mosque, the National Military Museum, the Police Museum, and several museums about the palace of Muhammed Ali.

 

11- Luxor in a hot air balloon

Even though it looks like Cappadocia, it is in Egypt. Get up early to ride a hot air balloon across the morning sky and watch the sunrise. Luxor, which used to be called Thebes, was the capital of ancient Egypt. Take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime chance and enjoy the rare view that looks back over 4,000 years.

 

12- Islamic Cairo

Cairo is called the “city of a thousand mosques” because there are so many mosques in each city’s smaller neighborhood. Each of these mosques was built in Cairo during a different dynasty that was in charge of Egypt at the time. Even though mosques are places of worship in Islam, the beautiful architecture that makes each mosque unique draws tourists from all over the world.

 

13- Dive into the Red Sea

The Dahab Beaches are one of Egypt’s most beautiful places. Places like Marsa Alam, Hurghada, Sharm El Sheikh, and Dahab are all great places to dive. Tourists can see the wild beauty of the Red Sea and learn about its many different environments in these places.

 

14- Mount Sinai

Traveling through this area will see beautiful mountain scenery in many different colors and shapes. The place is significant to the community, both spiritually and historically. In OMount Sinamount, mentioned in Testament, Mount Sises got the Ten Commandments after being in the desert for forty days and forty nights.
