ENJOY THE LAND OF THE PHARAOHS

30 Aug ENJOY THE LAND OF THE PHARAOHS

​Egypt is a wonderful place, considered to be the cradle of civilization, this is for the fact that it is brimming with history and ancient sites. Admire Egyptian history, stories of Pharaohs and Gods, explore the giant temples that were dedicated to them. Traveling to Egypt is like traveling back in time to a completely different world, you feel peace inside your soul and get inspired by the greatness of the ancient Pharaohs. Egypt’s food and colorful markets is another highlight, walking through the old and narrow streets of Cairo feels like walking through different worlds, as you admire the Pyramids you will also be fascinated by Cairo’s early Coptic Churches and Medieval Islamic gates and Mosques. A journey through the Nile Valley on a Nile Cruise is all that you need to get away from the busy cities.

Where to go:

1- Cairo:

​Cairo is the Capital City of Egypt, no wonder it is the busiest, as it houses almost 25 million people.
The Pyramids and the Sphinx make Cairo a very important destination in Egypt, Africa, and the Middle East, and not to forget its overwhelming Egyptian Museum that is getting small for what it houses, and that is the reason why Egypt has decided to build the epic New Grand Egyptian Museum to accommodate over 120,000 ancient artifacts to be the largest Museum in the world, as you admire the Pyramids, you will also be fascinated by Cairo’s early Coptic Churches and Medieval Islamic gates and Mosques.

Cairo still has a lot to offer, you can choose an evening dinner cruise on the Nile and touch nightlife on the Nile or attend the techno sound and light show at the Pyramids. From Cairo you can also drive 3 hours to the colonial city of Alexandria, the second largest and capital city of Egypt, one day was the capital of Greco-roman Egypt, where the Hellenistic culture was born.

2- Nile Cruise:

​Probably the best way to browse the Nile Valley and explore sites between Luxor and Aswan. Enjoy the Luxuriant 5 star Nile Cruise docking on the way visiting the most famous sites, such as Luxor temple, Karnak temple, Valley of the King, Edfu temple, Komombo temple, Philae temple, Abu Simbel temples.

3- Red Sea:

​The Red Sea is considered as the second best snorkeling spot in the World after the Barrier Reef in Australia. Hurghada is a well-located city between Cairo and Luxor, where after your tour you can relax on its beautiful Beach for a couple of days.

When To Go:

Egypt enjoys a Semi Mediterranean weather in Cairo and Alexandria, while Middle and South Egypt have an almost African climate with dry summers and Moderate winters. The best time to visit Egypt is Autumn and Springtime, when Egypt’s weather is very nice and clear, while Luxor and Aswan could be the best winter resort for the winter Holidays.

Summertime: 

You might not like Egypt’ weather in the Summer (June – July – August) due to the heat, even though you can find very good deals to tour Egypt during Summer.​

Ramadan: 

Ramadan is the holly month of the Muslims during which they abstain from Sunrise till Sunset to evoke a very special spiritual time. Of course, alongside the religious stipulations, a rich fabric of traditions and social mores have arisen which bring color, culture and life.
Egypt has a fantastically rich Ramadan heritage, ranging from lights to cannons to night callers. Ramadan may make your tour in Egypt slower than any time else as working hours would be shortened, however tourist places will stay functioning.
