5 Must-Do things

in Egypt

Egypt, the ancient Pharaonic homeland, is a location brimming with temples and opulent tombs that enchant those who come. But there aren't only historical treasures and tourism sites. With wide desert expanses for 4x4 adventures, coral reefs and world-class dive sites in the Red Sea for divers, and cruises on the famous Nil, there is much to do for all sorts of travelers.
Pyramids of Giza
The pyramids of Gizeh are one of the world's most well-known sights and the last of the world's seven wonders. Today, located in the desert lands of Egypt's agglomeration, these mégalithic monuments commemorating the dead pharaohs remain magnificent and are an unmissable highlight of any trip to Egypt.
Temples and Tombs of Luxor
The Nile-side village of Luxor in Upper Egypt is famous for the Valley of the Kings, Karnak Temple, and the Memorial Temple of Hatshepsut. This is ancient Thebes, the power center of the New Kingdom pharaohs, and it has more attractions than most people can see in a single visit.
Felucca sailing down the Nile
One of the most enjoyable things to do in Egypt is to sail down the Nile River in a felucca with your spouse. The Felucca is a classic wooden sailboat that offers you a true sense of Egypt. Relax on the deck, swim by the riverside, unwind beneath the canvas canopy, or sunbathe in the prow.
Scuba Diving at Hurghada
Scuba diving at Hurghada, a little fishing hamlet in Egypt, can pump up your adrenaline. While diving here, you'll see a lot of beautiful fish and corals. Certified divers may choose everyday diving, while novice dives can choose intro diving.
Take a boat trip on Qarun Lake
Taking a boat trip on Qarun Lake is one of the top family-friendly activities in Egypt. You may take in the amazing vistas and admire nature while on your boat journey. During this journey, you will be accompanied by a guide who will inform you about the local sites and culture.

Must-See places

in Egypt

Egypt is the world's oldest tourism destination, with a rich history dating back to the start of civilisation. The African nation’s awe-inspiring monuments and pyramids have caught the imagination of tourists for thousands of years.
Valley of Kings
Luxor was the ancient city of Thebes and is one of the most prominent Egypt tourist destinations. Luxor is well known for the Valley of Kings, which holds rock-cut tombs of ancient pharaohs and is hailed as the world's biggest open-air museum.
Citadel of Saladin
The citadel, one of several UNESCO World Heritage Sites in ancient Egypt, was erected by the famed Ayyubid monarch Saladin to defend Cairo and Fustat, the first Egyptian city under the Caliphate, from Crusaders.
Egyptian Museum

Egypt's ancient cities have been discovered, revealing temples, palaces, and tombs thousands of years old, and you may be wondering where all the famed riches went. After all, the Egyptians were famed for burying their deceased with a variety of items, including money, golden objects, and literature.
Alexandria
The city of Alexandria once held the world's largest library and served as a jewel-encrusted outpost for the Greco-Roman empires. Since then, nothing of the city's renowned sites have survived.
Ramesseum
Ramessum is Ramses II's colossal funeral temple. It is one of Luxor's most promising locations, located on the West Bank. It is famous for its 57-foot-tall sitting monument of Ramses II.

Must-Try food

in Egypt

To mention a few, the Pyramids, Sphinx, Pharaohs, Hieroglyphics, Mummies, and Ancient Temples come to mind when we think about Egypt. However, when we think about Egyptian cuisine, it is not well known... 
Ful wa Ta’meya
The original Egyptian fast meals include ta'meya and ful mudammas, which are basically fava beans, and falafel. They're a mainstay of the Egyptian diet, owing to its filling nature and the utilization of locally available ingredients. The ful is created with fava beans that have been stewed for hours in a qedra pot.
Don't forget to try this dish while on Egypt holidays! Falafels are now available across the Middle East, but Egypt is the true home of those delectable fried delights. A fantastic dinner for all you vegetarians...
Hamam Mahshi
Some call them sky rats, others vermin, and still others like eating them! Hamam mahshi is stuffed pigeon that has been served for generations in Egypt. The pigeons are housed in mud brick lofts seen along the Nile.
The birds are packed with onions and spices, as well as a grain called freekeh, which is a green cracked wheat with a nutty flavor, or rice or bulgur wheat. This particular dish is a must-try during your nextholidays Egypt
Aish Baladi
The Egyptian counterpart of pita bread called aish baladi (or eish baladi). It's composed entirely of whole wheat flour and cooked at exceptionally high temperatures. In Cairo, it is cooked multiple times a day and consumed at every meal, so you will never have to settle for stale bread in Egypt.
This form of flatbread has been made since ancient Egypt. It was prepared from an ancient grain called emmer wheat back then. Wild yeast would aid in the rising of the dough, which would then be cooked in traditional Egyptian clay ovens built from Nile River red mud. So do not forget to try it while you are enjoying your cheap package Egypt
