The highlight of any trip to Egypt must be seeing the incredible pyramids.

You may see beautiful rural vistas along the river, and explore the ancient temples and tombs dotted along the riverbank.

Many people think that Luxor is the best outdoor museum in the world. It was built where the old city of Thebes used to be. Luxor is split in half by the Nile. On the west bank sits the impressive Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut and the well-known "Valley of the Kings," which has more than 60 rock-cut tombs for the dead New Kingdom pharaohs. On the east bank, you may find the magnificent Karnak Temple and Luxor Temple.

The Egyptian Museum in central Cairo has one of the world's most significant assemblages of antiquity. Over ten thousand priceless antiques, including the greatest collection of pharaonic antiquities in the world, are stored in this treasure house, making it the only site where such a vast number of Egyptian artifacts can be found. The museum's grounds are like a time machine, transporting visitors to ancient Egypt with just a stroll.

Over a thousand kilometers of Egypt's Red Sea shoreline provide sandy beaches backed by resorts and dining options, perfect for a relaxing getaway. With a wide variety of marine life in the Red Sea's warm and tranquil waters, you may spend time not only relaxing on the beach but also exploring the underwater world via snorkeling and scuba diving.
