As to What could be done in touring Egypt & activities.

The Pyramids of Giza are iconic symbols of Egypt`s rich cultural magnificence and it is often the fascinating splendour of its ancient past that first attracts visitors to the country. Yet as a holiday destination, Egypt offers endless possibilities for all the family from cultural tours to dessert trips, Nile cruises, Red Sea diving, beach resorts and so much more. Cultural tours to the Lands of the Pharoahs will invariably incorporate: Pyramids at Giza, Saqqaura and Dahshur; Ancient Monuments in the Valleys of the Kings, Queens and Nobles, The Colossi of Memnon, The Sphinx, The Catacombs of Kom ash-Shuqqafa, the Roman Amphitheatre in Alexandria; Temples of Karnak, Luxor, Abu Simbel and The Ramessuem and Museums such as The Egyptian Museum Cairo, The Graeco-Roman Museum Alexandria and The Nubia Museum Aswan. Visits to these popular destinations will usually mean multi-centre excursions from Cairo, Luxor, Aswan and Alexandria giving the opportunity to explore these vibrant and bustling cities. Returning visitors to Egypt might opt to extend their travels beyond the busiest tourist trails. A Red Sea diving holiday is a truly memorable experience. With some of the world`s best scuba diving on offer along the Red Sea Riviera there are lots of well-established diving centres ready to take new or experienced divers of all ages into the super clear waters of the Red Sea to see countless varieties of beautiful coral, hundreds of exotic fish and shipwrecks now teeming with sealife. Resorts from Sharm el Sheik, Dahab, Nuweba and Taba in the Sinai to El Goura, Hurghada, Makadi Bay and Soma Bay, Safag and Quseirmake fantastic locations for diving and beach holidays. Over 300 luxury cruise ships, from 4 star to Imperial Ultra Deluxe, run along the ancient route of kings between Luxor to Aswan, taking in the Temples of Karnak, the Valley of the Kings, Edfu and Kom Ombu and other famous destinations on their way. For holiday makers seeking a more affordable and adventurous option, cruises in traditional Felucca Sailing boats along the Nile are of a more basic level of comfort but give the opportunity to enjoy a truly Egyptian experience. A more expensive but personalised cruise in Dahabiya sailboats is evocative of a bygone age but in ultra modern style. Adventure seekers will find various desert tours offer spectacular journeys and excitement. 4x4s or quad bikes will take visitors usually into the Western Desert past stunning rock formations visiting the Bahariya, Farafra, Dakhla and Kharga Oases. Travellers sit around campfires as the awesome night sky appears whilst enjoying a traditional Bedouin welcome and camp out in tents. Visitors with more specialised interests will find Egypt caters too for many niche holidays. Simple but relaxing Yoga holidays have become increasingly popular in recent years and are a less costly option. Egypt is establishing its reputation for top class Golfing breaks in El Gouna, Sharm El Sheikh, Soma Bay, Taba Heights and Hurghada. Anglers in search of the famous Nile Perch in its own waters in Lake Nasser can enjoy organised Fishing breaks. Train and Hot Air Balloon tours are also available. With so much to see and do, advance planning is the key. Many holidays can be tailor-made to give the flexibility of combining different options and centres. Family-friendly packages can create a good balance between educational and recreational activities. Experienced and adventurous travellers might wish to go for an independent holiday to give freedom to visit some less well-known and more remote sights away from the main centres. For those on a tighter budget, there are many idears on our site click here....

Egypt tourist sites. 

Each has its own flavor, and mostly each serves a different purpose. Surprisingly, or perhaps not, most of these tourist areas do not depend on ancient monuments to sustain them.  In fact, only Luxor is completely dependent on this trade.These super-sites consist of: Cairo and the immediate area around the City. Cairo has everything.  Cairo has great hotels, entertainment, restaurants, all manner of monuments from throughout the history of Egypt and it is often the entry point for most people visiting Egypt. It even has bowling allies and several golf courses to chose from. Luxor, and the surrounding area.  Luxor is a living museum with vast numbers of ancient Egyptian monuments.  It is also highly oriented to tourists, and might be thought of in the same regard as a theme park, where the attractions just happen to be real monuments.Aswan and the surrounding area.  Aswan is probably the least of the super-site tourist areas, but has great hotels, along with the huge Lake Nasser just to the south. Alexandria and the immediate area around the City.  It could in fact be argued that this area extends to Marsa Matruh to the west on the coast.  The area has a Mediterranean feel about it, and the attraction is the Mediterranean Sea, and to the people of Cairo, a somewhat cooler climate. Hurghada and the surrounding area, particularly El Gouna.  Not too far apart are El Gouna, Hurghada and Safaga, and these areas contain just about everything a tourist would like to have, with the exception of ancient monuments.  They make up for that with every variety of water sports, several golf courses, casinos and more. The Red Sea area has less of an Egyptian feel, but not as European as the Sinai. Sharm El Sheikh, and the surrounding area including Sharks Bay.  This is the Sinai super-site, again with most everything any tourist might wish.  There are even some wonderful Christian monuments nearby, and the water sports, as at Hurghada, are all inclusive. This is not to say that there are many more tourist destinations, particularly on the Red Sea and in Sinai, and on Egypt's mainland interior, the oases. However, in much of the rest of the mainland interior, travel and destinations are limited. However, the tourist super-sites encompass perhaps ninety-five percent of the ancient monuments.

The Nile Delta and Northeast Egypt

The Delta is lush with vegetation and its many canals work their way through the land. The Delta fans out like a palm tree trying to reach the Mediterranean. Vast fields of cotton, maize and rice decorate the flat landscape and the buffalo graze, plow or turn wheels for the grinding of the grain. During the winter months it is wise to bring a raincoat because of the high clouds that blow in from the Mediterranean. Along the coast itself, a sweater may be needed in the evenings.Cairo and the Surrounding Area Cairo, and the area around it are considered to be the heart of Egypt, and one may find almost every aspect of Egypt represented in the area, including some of the most famous Pharos, ancient, Christian and Islamic monuments.This area of the Nile River Valley contains a considerable mix of Christian and Coptic, Greek and Pharaohs historical sites, particularly due to its close proximity to the Fayoum Oasis.

Upper Nile Valley from South of El-Minya to Qena

This area of the Nile River Valley represents the Northern region of Upper Egypt (Southern).  It is interesting from the standpoint that the area contains some of the oldest artifacts and the capital of the Old Kingdom, but also has a rich Christian and Islamic tradition.

Luxor / Thebes and the Middle Nile Valley from South of Qena to North of Idfu

This area is really dominated by the Luxor/Karnak/Thebes open-air museum, filled with awe inspiring monuments of ancient civilization as well as some of the best preserved, it was the capital of Egypt during the New Kingdom; as Thebes it was described by Homer as "the hundred-gated city." Its later name, al-Uqsur, means "City of the Palaces." Testaments to a desire for immortality, built for eternity in sandstone and granite, the temples, tombs and palaces still stand, surrounded by souks and luxury hotels. On the east bank of the Nile, in the City of the Living, Luxor and Karnak Temples greet the sunrise. The sunset on the west bank throws shadows through the City of the Dead: the Tombs of the Nobles, the Valley of the Kings, Queen Hatshepsut's temple.Today, you can walk through history; past statues with the heads of gods and animals, beneath carved lotus buds and papyrus. Ride in a horse-drawn caleche, sail in a felucca, take a sunset cruise or see the city from a hot-air balloon. Please be aware that more than 80 percent of Egyptian artifacts are in the Thebes area and plan your visit accordingly. Many tours devote only four days to the area, with one of those days being a side trip to Abydos and Dendera. Elsewhere in this region, we find not only some of the oldest remains in Egypt, but also the history of trade and agriculture, of vast camel caravans and the cities that grew from that.

Aswan and Nubia to Abu Simbel

This area of Egypt enjoys a very rich history and a central role in Egypt's development.  There are hundreds of historical sites including some of Egypt's most important monuments.  Beginning at Aswan, this area stretches South and includes Lake Nasser.  Historical sites may be found in and about Aswan, as well as south along the coast of Lake Nasser including the great temple of Abu Simbel.

Alexandria and the Northern Coast

The Northern Coast" is the Egyptian North Western gate stretching 525 Km on the Mediterranean east to Sallum on the Libyan boarder. This was a rain-dependent agricultural land in the Roman era. Having good faith in the prosperous future of this region, the government spares no effort to develop it. Many comprehensive planning studies have been conducted. Many luxurious tourist spots have been built. In 1978, the process was unleashed. In spite of miles of white sand beaches and azure sea, Egypt's Med is still undeveloped and relatively unpopulated. There are fine beaches all along the coast from Alexandria to Mersa Matrouh, including the resort of Sidi Abdel Rahman, a secluded bay with clear waters and a selection of villas and hotels. At Mersa Matrouhitself, the natural bay and long white beach make for good sunbathing and swimming in calm transparent waters. Hired bicycles, carettas or open- sided tuf-tuf buses will take you to other good bathing spots nearby including the outstar beach at Al-Abyad and Ageebah cove, surrounded by beautiful scenery. As well as beaches there are other attractions in the Mersa Matrouh area: Cleopatra's Bath, a rock-hewn whirlpool bath off- shore which was supposedly used by Antony and Cleopatra, a ruined temple fort built by Ramses II, an early Coptic chapel and "Rommel's Hideout", a cave where the general planned his military campaigns and which has now been tumed into a military museum.

At Abu Qir, a small fishing town, you can sunbath, fish, swim and eat fresh seafood. To the west of the city try the resorts of Agami or Hannoville. Attractive integrated tourist villages are there, including beaches, houses, public service units. Due to its marble-like nature, "Marakia" was originally known as "Marmarina" in the old times. The name is extracted from the Arabic word "marmar" which means marble. Clear sea and pure sand are its two main characteristics. It consists of three main parts; namely, beach, housing units and public service units. The beach is 1500 meters long; its downstream surface is 100 meters. A pedestrian road separates it from the housing units. This stretches 400 meters, and consists of five-region on -shore 1945 units; 1267 cabins, 72 villas and 31 houses. The public service units are in both the middle of the village and at its main entrance, including administrative, emergency, communication, commercial, and entertainment services. Restaurants, cinema and an open theater. At the village entrance, a 800-person capacity mosque has been built. Large surfaces were devoted for sportive courtyards and public gardens. That is not all, there are further expansions. One may imagine "Marina" by the meaning of its name: the beautiful sea. It is 15 Km from "Marakia", 750 meters long on the beach and its downstream surface is 800 meters. Its total surface is about 143 feddans. Many service units are constructed on the beach. The housing unit consists of 34 villas, 264 flats and 672 cabins. A center for administrative, commercial, medical, religious and entertainment services is found in the middle of the village.Nearby, "Marina- Alameen" lies on the beach, about 100 Km  from Alexandria. Its surface is nearly 5000 feddans. Apart from the beach, it consists of housing and public service units. Golf, horse riding and other sport facilities and courtyards are also there. In fact, "Marina-Alameen" is exceptional in both natural and historical respects. It is endowed with natural deep lakes, as well as large forests. Moreover, it is rich in both Greek and Roman monuments. Being the World War II stage, an allied soldiers cemetery is found there. On the other hand, sea-linked lakes are designed for water renewal, shipping and fishery purposes. And then there is Alexandria (Alex) itself.  Pick any given holiday and try to find someone you need to see in Cairo.  They will be in Alex, which is not only a playground for people around the world, but of the Egyptians themselves.

The East Coast of Mainland Egypt bordering the Red Sea

Egypt's Red Sea coast runs from the Gulf of Suez to the Sudanese border. Its mineral-rich red mountain ranges inspired the mariners of antiquity to name the sea Mare Rostrum, or the Red Sea. Hermits seeking seclusion founded early Christian monasteries here, sharing the wilderness with camel-trading Bedouin tribes. Today, the crags and limestone wadis of the Eastern Desert remain relatively unexplored, home to ibex and gazelle. But the Red Sea itself, dotted with coral reefs, fringed by ancient ports, teeming with underwater life, has a rich maritime history which stretches back to Pharaohs times.The thermal winds that once sped clippers to the East still bring thousands of migrating birds to the shores of the Red Sea, making it a paradise for bird-watchers. Today, the ancient ports are better known as some of the best diving and fishing resorts in the world. Here, you will find over 800 fish species, including the deadly stone-fish, the equally dangerous butterfly-fish, as well as surgeon fish, jellyfish such as the Cassiopeia, crabs that sometimes overrun the shore in the evening and some species of shark. Sunbathers relax on white sand beaches, or find shade in the mangrove lagoons that line the coast, while snorkelers explore the reefs. And the underwater wonder of the Red Sea remains a living tapestry of vibrant corals and exotic fish, waiting for you to discover its secrets.

Sinai Peninsula

After 8,000 years at the heart of history, experience the continuing contrasts. Sinai is where rock meets coral reef and the desert stops at the sea. It is the grandeur of granite meeting golden beaches. Here, you will find tropical fish and rare birds, spectacular sunsets and clear starry nights. Meet Sinai and discover yourself. El-Arish has shady palm beaches, Mediterranean waves and the glowing colors of Bedouin crafts. Sharm el-Sheikh is the simplicity of sun, sea and sand. The luxury of five-star hotels, water sports, shopping and entertainment. Ras Mohamed is a world famous paradise of coral gardens and tropical fish. Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair". - Khalil Gibran. Sinai is the land of discovery. It is the route to the Promised Land, where Isis sought Osiris and the Pharaohs found gold. It is where Moses witnessed the Burning Bush and the Bedouins camped by Crusader forts. Sinai is the meeting point for three great religions, at the crossroads of Africa and Asia.
