Egypt

What you can visit in Egypt?

Giza pyramids

this is a good question many people used to ask this question, here I'm "Egyptian tour guide" love to tell some info about Egypt.

there are so many sites that you visit since you arrive, by the way! The length of your trip will never seem long enough! Some times I meet people during the tours that have been to Egypt more than 15 times, OMG and they keep returning to see something new! And they ask about this newly discovered site, or some tomb that has been recently uncovered new, or even amazing places that they have heard other people talk about Here in Egypt, you will always find a very good and new sites to visit and enjoy here in Egypt.

Cairo

The adventure you looking for here in Egypt never end's! That is why it is not good for you if you come to Egypt, especially for the first time, and miss the grandiose sites, such as the Giza area especially the great Pyramids, Abu Simbel temple in Aswan or the west bank of Luxor, or Alexandria city which is could be one of the most wonderful city, To name but a few.

The Nile

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 or El-Menia Governorate which located in upper Egypt also, and then they realize that they have to travel 720Km to Cairo, where the Pyramids actually are, and end up paying around 400$ extra to travel and see one site, which is most probably about half of what they paid for their entire trip!

Dear traveler, so my advice for you, will let you plan well for your trip before you come. The best way to save time, money and effort is "Advance planning", and of course to ensure that you get to see the sites that you have been dreaming about for some time.

Firstly try, as much as possible, to visit as many of the places that your trip will allow! Both of us know that you can't get the opportunity to visit Egypt everyday! Believe me there is nothing worse than going home and wishing you had visited somewhere you didn't!
