What to visit in Egypt?

When you are in Egypt there are so many sites that you will want to visit, the length of your trip may not seem long enough. I often meet people on my tours who have been to Egypt more than 15 times, and every time they come to see something new!! And they keep asking about this place, or that new tomb that has been recently uncovered. Here in Egypt, you will always find new sites to visit and enjoy.

The adventure that is Egypt never ends. That is why it is a shame if you come to Egypt for the first time and miss the grandiose sites such as the pyramids of giza, abu simblel or the west bank of Luxor to name but a few. There are so many travelers who fly direct to Upper Egypt to see Luxor and Aswan hoping that they will be stumble across the pyramids as well!

Later they realize they are not next door to the pyramids as they had imagined and they have to go 720 KM to reach Cairo where the pyramids are! They often end up paying 400$ extra to travel to Cairo just to see one site! Most probably it is almost half of what they paid for their entire trip!!
