Located in the northern part of Africa, Egypt has a mystical and timeless appeal that has attracted travellers for centuries.

Ancient civilizations have left their impression on the landscape, creating what today ranks among the most spectacular sightseeing destinations in the world.

Cairo (al-Q?hirah meaning the Triumphant City) is a top travel destination in Ancient Egypt offering numerous attractions. Cairo is the administrative capital of Egypt and home of the Great Pyramids of Giza. In addition to the pyramids, there are ancient temples, tombs, Christian churches, magnificent Muslim monuments, and the Egyptian Antiquities Museum - all either within or nearby Cairo.

Alexandria the largest port and second largest city in Egypt is also an interesting travel destination. Founded by Alexander the Great in 332 BC, Alexandria is home to beautiful beaches, Mediterranean Sea breezes and a wealth of history and culture. Pieces of history that tell of Alexandria’s rich and glorious past like the Roman amphitheatre and Catacombs as well as Pompey’s Pillar and the Museum of Graeco- Roman Antiquities  can all be found here.

The modern day Alexandria is a popular summer resort with beautiful hotels and gardens such as the Montazah Palace gardens. The locals come here to escape the hustle and bustle of Cairo during the winter. On sight is the fortress of Quait Bay, which was built on the site of one of the 7 wonders of the world, the Lighthouse of Pharos.

Visitors on Egypt holidays find tours to the city of Luxor quite rewarding. Located south of Egypt, Luxor (City of Palaces) and its surrounding area contain more than three quarters of Egypt’s ancient treasures including Valley of the Kings, Valley of the Queens and Karnak temples. The hospitality of the residents of Alexandria and the area's historical grandeur are guaranteed to capture your heart and mind right away.

Aswan, situated in Upper Egypt, is also a popular tour destination. The city was once the gateway to Africa and important ancient trade centre. Aswan today offers natural beautiful scenery in addition to many ancient attractions.

Some 320km outside of Aswan in Nubia lies what can only be described as the truly remarkable Temple of Abu Simbel. It was carved directly out of the sandstone cliffs along the Nile and built by Ramses II. Built under the pretense of dedication to the gods Amon Ra, Harmakis, and Ptah, many would say it was built for Ramses’ own glorification.
