Egypt offers innumerable attractions where tourists can immerse themselves in a rich ancient culture and history. Every major city boasts of magnificent monuments that must be seen to be believed.
In Cairo, witness the colossal Pyramids of Giza and the majestic Sphinx, which has been presiding over the desert sands for centuries. In Luxor, the Luxor and Karnak Temples cannot be missed. The Valley of the Kings, the royal cemetery for 62 Pharaohs, is also found in Luxor.
The High Dam of Aswan, which ushered a revolution in Egypt, and Lake Nasser—the world’s largest man-made lake—are also popular tourist destinations. In Aswan, the stupendous rock-cut temples of Abu Simbel, which were cut and reconstructed in 1968, are simply breathtaking.
