1. Abu Simbel in Egypt
 The two temples at Abu Simbel Egypt are best known for two reasons: their dazzling magnificence, and their historic relocation from their original cliff.
These monumental temples were originally carved out of a sandstone cliff near River Nile over three millenniums ago, during the reign of the great Pharaoh - Ramesses II. The temples were dedicated to the Egyptian gods and to Pharaoh Ramesses II. Recently, in the 1960s, when the Egyptian government was constructing the Aswan High dam, the temples faced the danger of being submerged under the resultant Lake Nasser.

 Alexandria is a huge attraction in the northern coast of Egypt and makes for some of Egypt's best tours.
Known as "The Pearl of the Mediterranean", Alexandria is the second largest city of ancient Egypt boasting an atmosphere that is more Mediterranean than Middle Eastern.
The city's ambiance and cultural heritage distance it from the rest of the country although it is actually about 200km from Cairo.
The city of Alexandria was founded by Alexander the Great in 331 BC and designed by architect Denokrates II in the shape of a chessboard. The modern day Alexandria is synonymous with commerce, cosmopolitanism and bohemian culture.
