In case you are preparing a trip to Egypt, since the UK Director of operations for One Earth Tours in the UK, here’s my top ten listing of places to go and things to find out and do in Egypt…

1. The pyramids at Giza. This might sound obvious but traveling to them isn't the only choice. You can go within them, ride camels all around them and probably most breathtaking of all of them, pay a visit to them and night and view the wonderful Sound and Light Show on the pyramids. Within the darkness of night time, the Sphinx is lit up and narrates the historical past of the Pyramids. Moreover an amazing soundtrack plays and lasers dance all around the Pyramids. This display is often a Need to.

2. Kings Tuts Mask. The mask from the kid king, just must be observed in particular person to become thought. The intricate work is one particular issue, but there is just an incredible “aura” of peace about this artefact. Words just can't describe what you will really feel as you stand in front of it.

3. Abu Simbel. That is a genuine past and present wonder. The past is clear, but being a current day wonder, not every person realises that this complete structure was moved to make way for Lake Nasser. That alone causes it to be nicely worth the trip out from Aswan to view it.

4. Valley of the Kings. I personally enjoy Luxor as well as the Valley in the Kings can be a genuine website to behold. Regardless of its close backlinks to death, there is certainly a genuinely peaceful feeling there. It ought to be mentioned even so that not all the tombs are well worth viewing. You entry tickets will get you into three of the tombs so you can shell out added for other people and for King Tuts tomb also. The three we suggest going to are Ramses I, Tuthmosis III and Ramses VI .

5. Luxor Temple. This temple is situated correct on the financial institution of the River Nile and it is a fantastic place to stroll at leisure. Ironically an amazing view of this area also can be observed through the second floor in the McDonalds opposite - sorry it’s true !

6. A Felucca sailing to the Nile. Best taken in Luxor (opposite the entrance to Luxor Temple) it is a simple but great enjoyment. We suggest heading out early from the afternoon, partly because the river supplies a welcome rest from the days heat, but mostly because the return journey will see the sun setting over the Nile and this really is something just to not be missed.

7. Karnak Temple. This temple complex could be visited both by day or evening. If you're able to do each, do each, but if you are able to only do it when, do it at night time. Karnak Temple is really a enormous location and it is lit superbly and as you wander close to and the tale of its background unfolds, you happen to be genuinely transported to an additional time and area. The last act will take area overlooking a lake where the temple is stunningly lit and reflected in the nonetheless waters in front of you.

8. Diving within the Red Sea. Diving in spots like Hurghada, Dahab and Sharm el Sheikh is a few of the very best in the planet and when you are a rookie, wherever far better to understand that at the Red Sea Riviera !

9. A Nile Dinner Cruise (in Cairo). Arguably a little cliché, but when you can get previous that, then a Nile river cruise in Cairo is effectively value doing. The skyline is beautifully lit and as your cruise ship heads out to the dark waters, you might be certain to have a romantic night which you will never ever neglect.

10 Riding a Camel. It just has to be done ! The most effective locations are at the pyramids on the West Financial institution from the Nile in Luxor. Right here it may be accomplished nicely together with a trip about the Nile by felucca (stopping for any camel journey during the afternoon).
