AMAZING THINGS TO DO IN EGYPT

Explore the great pyramid of Giza

One of the best things to do in Egypt is exploring the great pyramid of Giza that is the last standing man-made wonder of the ancient world. The pyramids are situated on the western side of the River Nile, and they comprise three main pyramids.

The largest pyramid is dedicated to Khufu, and the other two are the Pyramid of Menkaure and the Pyramid of Khafre, respectively the later kings.

Sail Down the Nile on a Felucca

Sailing down the Nile River on a felucca with your partner is considered to be one of the most fun things to do in Egypt. Felucca is the traditional wooden sailboat that gives you the real feel of Egypt. You can chill out on the deck, swim alongside the riverbank, relax under the canvas roof or sunbathe in the prow.

It is an authentic sailing experience where you can enjoy cocktails and scrumptious dinner on board and be a part of the Nubian party with the crew members.

Visit the Great Sphinx of Giza

You can’t bid goodbye to Egypt without visiting the Great Sphinx of Giza, a colossal limestone statue of a sphinx with a head of a human and a lion’s body. This Egyptian antiquity is known to be the largest and the oldest sculpture in the world.

It was constructed to guard three pyramids of Giza, namely the pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaura. The archaeologists claim that this imposing sculpture once had a long beard, which was eventually crumbled due to natural sand erosion.

Explore Luxor Temple and Museum at Night

Your Egyptian itinerary can’t be complete if you don’t plan a visit to Luxor Temple and Museum in the wee hours. The Luxor Temple is a beautiful Egyptian temple complex situated on the east bank of the River Nile.

The temple is well-preserved with large amounts of structures, relief carvings, and statuaries, making it the most impressive site in Egypt. It has a brilliantly displayed collection of antiquities dating from the Mamluk period to the end of the Old Kingdom. The light and sound show is also organized here at night.

Take in the Beauty of the Valley of the Kings

If you wish to know about Egypt’s ancient civilization that had been buried hundreds of years ago, you should definitely visit the Valley of the Kings. The valley has about sixty-three tombs of different rulers, queens, and pharaohs, starting from Thutmose I and ending with Ramses XI.

The tombs inside this valley were decorated by Deir el-Medina village workers, who came here from different routes over the Theban hills.
