Egypt

Egypt is located in the Northeast corner of Africa. The Nile River runs thru the country north to south. It's important to note the "Lower Nile" is in the north of Egypt, and the "Upper Nile" in the south. The best time of the year to visit is November to January. The average temperature is in the mid 70's. I've been there in May at the Valley of the Kings. The temperature was low 100's almost unbearable. You have to drink lots of water and pace yourself.

Egypt is an incredible place. Its history dates back over 4000 BC. I found the people to be very friendly and helpful. It is very important however to check the government travel information advisory before planning your trip. In the past there has been some unrest. We can recommend and book your trip with several Top Tour Companies.

Cairo
Cairo is a very large bustling city. "Be carefully of traffic". The Egyptian Museum in Cairo is one of the World's most famous museums. The magnificent collection of antiquities includes mummies, sarcophagi, and fabulous treasures from Tut Ankh Amun's tomb. If you go there you should plan to spend the entire day. There are lots of things to see. The Coptic Quarter with its old narrow streets, ancient Christian Churches is where you will find the Church of St.Sergius. This 5th century basilica, build over a crypt is where the Holy Family is believed to have stayed during their flight into Egypt. Not far from Cairo is the town of Giza. Here you will find the Three Great Pyramids and the Sphinx. They were one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and they're the only one of the Original Wonders still in existence. "A must see in my book". Here you can set up a camel ride, but negotiate the price first!

Luxor
Luxor is south of Cairo. It's in the Valley of the Kings. You can visit the Temple of Luxor and the Temple of Karnak here. Across the river is where the tomb of King Tut and other Ancient Pharaohs were discovered. I recommend going to the Valley of the Kings to visit the tombs very early, at day break. The lines to get in can get very long and it can get very hot later in the morning. I also recommend if you ever wanted to try a Hot Air Balloon ride, this is the place. The view is incredible, you can see forever. Your are able to view many of the current archaeological digs going on today. If you're going to do this, do it during sunrise and you'll never forget it!

Aswan
Aswan south of Luxor is also a place you want to include on your trip. Here you can visit the Temple of Abu Simbel where the figure of Ramses II is cut into the bluff. Other things to see are the Dam, and an unfinished obelisk left Century's ago. A ride in a felucca on the Nile is a nice way to spend a lazy afternoon. Call us to book your Egypt vacation today!
