If you and your family are searching for an exciting place to spend your vacation you might consider Egypt. It is a land of enchantment and history. You will find so many varied experiences from riding between the humps on a camel to taking a cruise down the Nile River.
If you are like most visitors you will land in Cairo. In order not to miss any of the exciting places to visit you might consider taking a tour. Many companies offer the trips throughout Cairo. Your first visit might be to the Sound and Light Show at the Pyramids of Giza.
This is an amazing sound and light show offering special effects. Next, nothing can compare to an actual visit to the Sphinx. All of the films and photos can never give you the experience of seeing the beautiful art, tombs, and artifacts located here.
Visitors will want to visit the Egyptian Museum where you will see the things on the floor of King Tut’s treasures. The Cairo Tower offers you a height that allows you to see the great views of Cairo. The Al-Refa’i Mosque was built beginning in 1869 and completed in 1912. It offers outstanding architecture. Visitors need to always be respectful to the Muslims as they go here to pray.
The Coptic Museum has recently been refurbished. A person must visit here to get a total understanding of the Egyptian history. In addition, the building itself is spectacular. The Military Museum is a in a beautiful setting. It offers some history on the Egyptian military.
The Townhouse Gallery are both different and amazing.
Visitors will want to consider other places including the October War Panorama, the Mastaba of Ti,Dream Park, the Citadel, the Meidum Pyramid, the Katameya Heights Golf and Tennis Resort, the Maadi Divers, the Mastaba of Mereruka, the Church of St. Barbara, the St. Mark’s Coptic Orthodox Church, the Pyramid of Unas, the Sabil-Kuttab of Abd El-Rahman Katkhuda, the Al Azhar Park, and the Islamic Cairo.
However, every visitor should study all of the sites on Egypt holidays – so many to see, and decide what you and your family want to see.
Visitors will also want to visit Luxor and take in a hot air balloon ride after visiting the Temple of Karnak. The Luxor Temple is definitely deserving of a visit as is the Valley of the Kings. Visitors need to also consider going to South Sinai, Aswan, Alexandria, Hurghada, and El Queseir – and, after seeing all of these sites, there are still dozens more to see during your next visit.
