Delight the Senses and Expand the Mind with a Trip to Egypt
With a history stretching back over 6,000 years and home to the last remaining monument of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the Great Pyramid of Giza, Egypt is an awe-inspiring country to behold. Famed for its colourful festivals, historic sites of interest and intriguing heritage, it is one of the most interesting and exciting destinations around, and one that undeniably deserves to be visited.
Located in North Africa, with the Mediterranean Sea at its north border and the Red Sea to its east, the country boasts a favourable climate, with year round sunshine on tap. The River Nile, regarded as the longest in the world, runs through the country and is of major importance to the Egyptian people. Many of Egypt’s most significant sites are also located along its banks.
The largest city in Egypt, and also its capital, Cairo, is one such place. Home to a wealth of lively markets, cultural attractions and historical monuments, it is a veritable cultural feast for any traveller that happens upon it. To highlights are The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities and Khan El-Khalili, which is a famous souk in the Islamic district of Cairo.
It is also near Cairo that the celebrated Giza Pyramid Complex can be found. Built in 25 BC, the pyramids were designed and named after three prominent Egyptian pharaohs: Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure. One of Egypt’s most popular attractions, the Great Pyramid of Giza, attracts thousands of travellers each year, who are all eager to take in the breathtaking sight.
To the east of the pyramids lies The Great Sphinx, a half-human, half-lion structure cited as the earliest known monumental sculpture. Measuring 73.5 metres in length, six metres in width and 20 metres in height, it is the largest monolith statue in the world and remains one of Egypt’s most visited attractions after the Pyramids.
No visit to this ancient country would be complete without a trip to the ancient city of Luxor. Said to be the world’s greatest open air museum, it is a vibrant and colourful hub, bursting with character and tradition. Divided into three distinct parts – the city of Luxor itself and the towns of Karnak and Thebes – it is the perfect place for getting a real flavour of Nile life.
To really make your trip memorable, why not take a trip in one of the hot air balloon rides offered? Not only will you get to enjoy a bird’s eye view of the famous River, but it is also possible to take in the breathtaking panoramic vistas Luxor offers, as well as catching a glimpse of the spectacular ruins scattered around.
Egypt holidays are ideal for those looking to combine history and culture with luxury and relaxation and is a perfect destination to recharge the batteries.
