Guided Tours of Wondrous Egypt

Who has not wanted to see the wondrous archeological sites and dazzling artifacts to be found in Egypt-a land perfectly laid out for archeology buffs?  Now, guided tours of Egypt and all its elegance are available for travelers from all around the world to go to and explore.  Let’s have a look at what many guided tours have to give.  

Most guided tours of Egypt begin in Cairo, where Egypt’s biggest airport and largest city are waiting to greet you.  While in Egypt, your guide may take you to the famous Egyptian Museum, where the treasures of Tutankhamen and other traditional artifacts are available for viewing.  You may take a drive to Old Cairo, the area where traditional Christians and Jews lived in the city.  Have some fun shopping at the colourful Khan El Khalili Bazaar and do not forget to bargain.  

One of the most lovely sites on guided tours of Egypt is a trip to the pyramids and the great Sphinx of Giza, a five thousand~ five thousand year old monument.  After taking as many photographs as you can, visit the nearby Solar boat Museum and continue on to the ancient town of Memphis, the 1st capital of United lower and upper Egypt, and see Sakkara, the site of the Step Pyramid of Zoser.  

Longer steered tours of Egypt will fly you out of the area to Sharm El Sheikh, a city on the sea with lovely beaches, pure white sands and an opportunity to go diving in the Ras Mohammed Underwater Nature Reserve.  An alternative choice is a walking tour to
visit a Bedouin camp in the desert.  Other visits include the St.  Catherine priory or night tours of Mount Sinai, where you can watch a beautiful dawn and visit the priory located there.  

Next, some steered tours will take you on a flight to Luxor where you will take a fantastic ship for a rememberable experience on the Nile stream.  Cruise trips generally last 5 days and 4 nights.  You may visit the Luxor church that was originally dedicated to the God Amon-Ra.  Karnak church is nearby also.  Led tours of the area will have you continue on your cruise ship and will take you to the famous Valley of the Kings and Queens, where you can see the Funerary temple of Queen Hatshepsut and many other archeological findings.  The cruise ship will be sailing upstream and will take you up to Edfu where you can visit the Edfu church, a famous part of Egyptian design.  Still on the cruise ship the following day, steered tours of the Nile will stop off at the temple of Kom Ombo, another Egyptian archeological find and to the Nilometer, a superb site built by the pharaohs of Egypt that was built to determine the height of the waters of the Nile stream.  

Next, guided tours along the Nile river will show you the fantastic and famous Aswan High Dam, as well as the Philae church and the enormous unfinished obelisk in the nearby granite quarry.  At this point, your ship journey is complete and you will fly back to the town of Cairo.  Steered tours of Egypt, especially if they are comprehensive, will show you lots of superb archeological sites and will teach you the history of this interesting part of the planet.  You’ll see tons of traditional Egyptian artifacts and you can come away with a new appreciation of how the ancient Egyptians lived and built their monuments.
