Egypt – the cradle of civilization.  Have you ever needed to see an actual pyramid, to wonder at the most breathtaking architectural works in all of history?  Or enter one and explore the exciting tunnels and chasms within?  Ever imagined yourself visiting the tomb of an ancient king and checking precious pieces of traditional Egyptian culture? 

the most well liked Egyptian tours are visits to Pyramids and museums of ancient civilizations.  Within these traditional Egypt Tours that are sometimes of a Pharoanic nature, you will be in a position to tour Cairo, Luxor and Aswan, and see not only awesome markers of ancient Egyptian history, but also landmarks of religious importance.  You may also organize your tour to even include a cruise down the Nile brook as well. 

there are several tours on offer, some with definite itineraries, others arranged according to your desired route, generally depending on how much you want to see and how long you plan to stay.  Highlights of the tours include the Giza ( Great Pyramid ) and the Saqqara ( Step ) Pyramids, the citadel, an Islamic market called Khan el-Khalili, as well as other markets, churches and museums, all in Cairo.  In Luxor, the must-see landmarks would be at least one or two of the many fine monuments and tombs found on the West Bank, that may turn out to be welcome escapes from the heat of the town.  Make efforts to also visit the Luxor and Karnak temples and the highly popular Luxor museum, all on the East Bank. 

although you can fly or take a train between Cairo, Luxor and Aswan, we highly endorse the bus rides between Luxor and Aswan, as these trips often have stopovers at popular, historical monuments on the way.  In Aswan, you might tour Elephantine Island, the Nubian museum and the half finished Obelisk, the High Dam and St.  Simon’s monastery.  If you have an extra day to spare, you could also visit the churches of Abu Simbel, and have more time to see Aswan’s many other attractions. 

non secular tours are also highly popular, such as the Holy Family route and the Exodus route, as well as tours of Islamic mosques.  You can just imagine Moses leading the chosen people out of Egypt as you follow in their steps.  Unstructured religious tours are also on offer, permitting you to see highlights from either the Holy Family and Exodus routes, as well as monuments found in the Pharoanic tours. 

The traditional Egypt Tour is the ideal holiday for the adventurer in you, and a great educational trip for the whole family, especially if you have around 2 weeks to spare.  Except for absorbing the amazing ancient cultures, you will also get to meet a people who are splendidly accommodating and friendly.
