THE DESTINATIONS

EGYPT

Egypt, the incredible and diverse country, has one of a few age-old civilizations and

is the home of two of the ancient wonders of the world. The Ancient Egyptian

civilization developed along the Nile River more than 7000 years ago. It is

recognizable for its temples, hieroglyphs, mummies, and above all, the Pyramids.

Apart from visiting and seeing the ancient temples and artefacts of ancient Egypt,

there is also a lot to see in each city. Each city in Egypt has its own charm and its

own history, culture, activities. Egypt stimulates the imagination of tourists as one of

the most popular tourist destinations worldwide.

So.. let’s start our journey.

CAIRO

Cairo is the capital city of Egypt, with a total population of 16 million people.

The metropolitan city is one of the largest in Africa, the largest in the Middle

East and the Arab world, and the 15th largest in the world. Cairo is

associated with ancient Egypt, where the Great pyramids of Giza and the

ancient city of Memphis exist. It is famous for its own history, preserved in

the medieval Islamic city and Coptic sites in Old Cairo.

Though firmly attached to the past, Cairo is also home to a vibrant modern

society. The Midan Tahrir area situated in downtown Cairo has strived to be

a "Paris on the Nile." Cairo has the oldest and largest film and music

industries in the Arab world, as well as the world's second-oldest institution

of higher learning, Al-Azhar University.

Journey of The Pharaohs

LUXOR

Luxor, the "world's greatest open-air museum” on the West Bank of the Nile, is

the home to the ruins of temple complexes and human headed sphinxes. Most of

the ruins and tombs still remain, including the Valley of the Kings, which contains

the famous Tomb of Tutankhamen which was found in pristine condition and the

Temple of Queen Hatshepsut at Deir El Bahary. Nearby, a number of ancient

temples and Theban Necropolis are located: the Temple of Medinat Habu,

Colossi of Memnon, the Ramesseum, the Valley of the Queens and the Valley of

the Nobles. While in Luxor, one cannot miss the Hot Air Balloon trip; offering a

fantastic view from above of the West Bank of Luxor.

Journey of The Pharaohs

ASWAN

Going south along the River Nile lies the smaller city of Aswan, the home of many

granite quarries from which most of the Obelisks in Luxor were sourced. The river is

wide, slow and beautiful, with the colorful Nubian villages featuring the traditions of

the lives of the Nubians. The Philae Temple is the most visited temple in Aswan and

the last in the classical Egyptian architectural style. In the south of Aswan lies the

Unfinished Obelisk, the largest obelisk carved directly out of bedrock. Sailing towards

the West Bank by felucca are located the Elephantine Island and the Botanical

Garden. The High Dam is a modern landmark across the Nile built between 1960 and

1970. Accessible and usually combined with an Aswan tour is the visit to the iconic

temples of Abu Simbel, situated on the western bank of Lake Nasser.

Red Sea Authentic Escape

HURGHADA

Boasting a number of superb beaches and famous for its great diving

opportunities, Hurghada has a variety of other sea activities, including scuba-

diving, snorkeling, windsurfing, parasailing, kitesurfing, waterskiing and jet skiing.

You can also ride a glass bottom boat where you can see the gardens of corals

and the exotic marine life. There are many islands to visit, such as Giftun and

Mahmya Islands - the most famous for diving and snorkeling. Combine adventure

with dramatic desert scenery as you take to the sands on a quad bike, using the

sunset against the Sinai mountains as your backdrop, or head into the heart of the

desert by jeep. In the evening, you can go for a walk in the promenade area for

some traditional cafes, shopping, or dining. There is bowling and a family

entertainment center nearby as well as a few malls and restaurants. Night life

usually begins quite late, and you can find some clubs in close proximity to the

promenade.


SAHL HASHEESH

15 minutes from Hurghada International Airport, the community is situated on a beautiful

bay, long-renowned as a gorgeous seaside and diving destination with 12.5 kilometers of

pristine sandy beaches. Sahl Hasheesh is the authentic Red Sea escape offering guests

and residents many options from fun-in-the-sun, golfing, water sports and a thriving

nightlife to tranquility and peace. Sahl Hasheesh's Old Town district is the heart of the

community and home to a variety of high-end retail outlets serving hotel guests, residents

and day visitors. Taking a stroll down the beachside boardwalk offers beautiful views, an

exciting ambience and a wide selection of designer brands, jewelry and souvenirs.


SHARM EL SHEIKH

Sharm – as its known locally – has become one of Egypt's leading tourist

destinations thanks to its resorts, gorgeous beaches, and bounty of sightseeing

attractions. Diverse marine life and hundreds of Red Sea coral reef sites make

Sharm El Sheikh a magnet for divers and eco-tourists. Naama Bay, the resort

district's stunning natural bay boasts some of the city's most popular cafés,

restaurants, and bazaars. It's the place to go for tourist-friendly entertainment.

Pharaoh's Island’s outstanding natural beauty is complemented by its 12th-century

citadel, see it by booking a boat tour! Ras Muhammad National Park, at the tip of

the peninsula is one of Sharm El Sheikh's best snorkeling spots. The coastal

national park is home to thousands of species, including crustaceans and turtles.

For sightseers who don't fancy the three-hour climb up Mount Sinai, one of the

world’s oldest Christian monasteries, Saint Catherine’s Monastery, lies right at its

feet. It was built 1,500 years ago!

MUST-SEE SPOTS

ALEXANDRIA

• Constructed in honor of the Emperor Diocletian at the end of the 4th century and originally from the temple of the

Serapis, it was once a magnificent structure rivaling the Soma and the Caesarean.

• Catacombs

• The largest Roman Cemetery consisting of three levels cut in the rock. This historical archaeological site is

considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Middle Ages. The necropolis consists of a series of Alexandrian

tombs, statues and archaeological objects of the Pharaonic funeral cult with Hellenistic and early Imperial Roman

influences.

• Qaitbay Citadel

• A 15th-century defensive fortress located on the Mediterranean sea coast in Alexandria, Egypt. It was established

MUST-SEE SPOTS

LUXOR

East Bank

• Karnak Temple

• To the east bank of Luxor, it is the greatest example of worship in history. It was dedicated to the God Amon, his

wife Mut and their son Khonsu and was constructed from the beginning of the Middle Kingdom until the Greco

Roman Kingdom.

• Luxor Temple

• It is a great temple complex in modern Luxor dedicated to Amun, a creator God often fused with the sun-god Ra

into Amun-Ra. Construction work on the temple began during the reign of Amenhotep III in the 14th century BC.

Horemheb and Tutankhamun added columns, statues, and friezes and Akhenaten had earlier obliterated his

father's cartouches and installed a shrine to the Aten. However, the only major expansion effort took place under

Ramses II around 100 years after the first stones were put in place. Luxor is unique among the main Egyptian

temple complexes in having only two pharaohs leave their mark on its architectural structure.

MUST-SEE SPOTS

LUXOR

West Bank

• Valley of Kings

• A burial ground for the pharaohs which was the Kingdom of Osiris, god of the underworld. From their grand tombs

filled with treasures and decorated with magnificent art, the Egyptian pharaohs believed they would embark on a

journey in which they would meet the gods in the afterlife and achieve immortality.

• Hatshepsut Temple

• One of the most dramatically situated in the world, built at the head of a valley. Throughout the temple, statues and

sphinxes of the queen proliferated. Many of them have been reconstructed from the thousands of smashed

fragments found by the excavators, some of which are now in the Cairo Museum, and others the Metropolitan

Museum of Art, New York.

• Colossi of Memnon

• The Colossi of Memnon are two massive stone statues of the Pharaoh Amenhotep III. For 3,400 years, they have

stood in the Theban Necropolis. Everything is duplicated along the main axis, there are two entrances, two courts,

two colonnades, two hypostyle halls and two sanctuaries. There were probably even two sets of priests. The left, or

northern side is dedicated to Haroeris, the falcon headed sky god and the right to Sobek, the crocodile headed god.

MUST-SEE SPOTSASWAN

Edfu – Kom ombo – Aswan

• Temple of Horus at Edfu

blocks, it was constructed over the site of a smaller New Kingdom temple.

• Kom Ombo Temple

• It consists of two temples; a Temple of Sobek and a Temple of Haroeris. The Temple has scanted remains, due first to the

changing Nile, then the Copts who once used it as a church, and finally by builders who used the stones for new buildings.

The left, or northern side is dedicated to Haroeris (the falcon headed sky god) and the right to Sobek (the crocodile headed

god).

• The High Dam

• An engineering miracle built in 1960 protecting Egypt from annual floods from the Nile.

• Philae Temple

• Since early century, the site of Philae was flooded for six months each year. An incredible restoration program was

undertaken in the 1960s and the Temple was moved stone by stone to a higher elevation.

• The Unfinished Obelisk

• The largest known ancient obelisk located in the northern region of the stone quarries of ancient Egypt in Aswan. It was
