The mystic land of Egypt has always been a great holiday destination for all tastes, mixing the antique with the modern, the pyramids and temples of Luxor with the Red Sea trendy resorts.
One should not miss the secluded beaches in Sinai, with their great diving locations, the Western Desert or the Oases.
For the true taste of history, check out the Valley of the Kings, the temple of Amon or the double temple dedicated partly to Horus, partly to Sobek, the crocodile-god.
Whether you have a chat with the Sphinx in Cairo, take a look around the Bibliotheca Alexandrina or sneak a peak to King Tut’s treasures stored in the Egyptian museum, this land of sun and sands will definitely seduce you. |
