Default Re: Egypt vacation

we had a 14 day Egypt vacation during easter holidays and it was splendid. we have visited Abu Simbel, Egyptian Museum, Giza Pyramids, Karnak Temple, Valley of the Kings plus a lot more. We started at Cairo and visited the Egyptian Museum first. The Royal Mummy Room and the golden treasures of King Tutankhamen are the highlights of our Cairo tour. Giza is located only a few kilometers from Cairo and easily be reached by Taxi, so we headed here next. Visiting the interior of the Giza Pyramids is a great expereince, but try to go during early morning and see the Pyramids in the morning light.Then the next day we started very early and headed to Luxor, one of the most popular archaeological sites in the world and explored the temple of Luxor and the Temple of Karnak. The Karnak temple is located 2.5km north of Luxor and has 3 temples inside.

As well as wonderful attractions, Egypt offers plenty of swimming opportunities. Diving & snorkeling are the most popular Egyptian beach activities. The Abu Simbel Temple will really impress you since you like historical buildings and places. After the Giza pyramids, this great temple of Abu Simbel is the most popular place of ancient Egypt. We all explored the ancient Pyramids and experienced the silent majesty of the desert. Hope you too! Enjoy your Egypt vacation as well as Egypt beaches, have a wgood day!
