| Egypt
offers tours that combine history and culture in a way
that makes history come alive and gives the traveler a
sense of excitement like no where else. |
| |
| Cairo
is the capital of Egypt and, with a total population in
excess of 16 million people, it is also the 13th largest
city in the world. Situated on the River Nile, Cairo is
famous for its own history - preserved in the fabulous
medieval Islamic city and in Old Cairo - and for the ancient,
Pharaonic history of the country it represents. No trip
to Cairo would be complete without a visit to the
Giza Pyramids,
to nearby Sakkara,
or to the Egyptian
Museum in the center
of town. Though firmly attached to the past, Cairo is
also home to a vibrant modern society. |
| |
| Aswan
is located in the south of Egypt, some 680 km (425 miles)
south of Cairo, just below the Aswan Dam and Lake Nasser.
Compared to Cairo and Luxor, Aswan is a far more relaxed,
if smaller, alternative as a traveller's destination.
Aswan is compact enough to negotiate primarily on foot.
For weary feet or for some of the more far flung attractions
(like Philae, the High Dam and the unfinished obelisks)
there are other options that include taxis and horse-drawn
carriages. To access the sights on the river islands or
on the West Bank, one will need to cross the river by
motor boat or felluca. |
| |
| Luxor
is the premier travel destination in Upper (southern)
Egypt and the Nile Valley. The dynastic and religious
capital of Middle Kingdom and New Kingdom Egypt, Luxor
has much to offer the traveller, from vast temples, to
ancient royal tombs, via spectacular desert and river
scenery and a bustling modern life. |
