Egypt really is a holiday Gem. It has everything to offer that you could possibly want on a holiday. If you have any interest in Egyptology and the pharaohs then this is a must on your list of places to visit. In Cairo’s Egyptian Museum, you can see Tutankhamen’s death mask and the mummified remains of ancient kings. Just a stone’s throw away, outside the city, you can stand next to the towering Great Pyramid and the Sphinx and imagine how on earth they were built. You really need to see them in person to get the effect of how vast they really are.
In Luxor you have the opportunity to explore the Valley of the Kings and the Temple of Karnak. The Temple of Karnak is the largest ancient religious site in the world. If all the history isn’t enough for you then Egypt has amazing beaches where you can spend hours relaxing on golden sands.
