When thinking about which far-off lands to visit on a holiday, there is so much to tempt you all over the world that it can difficult to decide which countries to rule out. Most people tend to have a priority list, based on their personal preferences of what they like to experience during travel. This could be adventure sports, spending time in the countryside, taking in city life or a variety of other activities.
For those who decide to travel to Egypt, the allure is more often than not the great history that lies everywhere in this country. Scattered along the vast River Nile are not only the majority of today’s Egyptian population but also remnants of the ancient civilisation which existed here thousands of years ago. Egypt tour packages will give you an insight not only into a very interesting contemporary country, but also one which provides wonder, inspiration and mystery to historians and layman the world over.
Once you’ve decided that this is a part of the world you’d like to visit, you need to get down to the exciting business of deciding what to do while you’re there. Egypt tour packages can include a variety of activities and sightseeing, but there are a few that we’d recommend go straight into your itinerary from the outset.
It’s most likely that when you arrive in Egypt it’ll be to the capital Cairo. And there’s no better place to start a holiday than this. Its proximity to the ancient cities of Giza and Memphis, as well as the Great Pyramid complex and the Great Sphinx, make it a superb way to begin any trip. A visit to the Giza Necropolis gives the feeling of stepping back in time – several thousand years to a mystical age; an age that we don’t yet fully understand.
After spending some time in the vicinity of Cairo, we recommend your Egypt tour package should then take you down the Nile to Luxor. The cruise down the river itself is a wonderful experience, and Luxor has some amazing sights to see including the Necropolis and the Valley of the Kings.
