Xplore Egypt

Cairo is Africa's second largest city and the heart of the Arab world. The Cairo Museum is home to the most extensive collection of Egyptian antiquities, including the golden mask and tomb of Tutankamun. Towering above almost any other human achievement are the impressive three pyramids of Giza. This fascinating and crowded city should be on every travelers bucket list.

Aswan a relaxed and friendly town that provides a tranquil interlude if you've just arrived from the busier cities of Egypt. At Aswan, the landscape of the Nile is enchanting, but it is the stone temples of Abu Simbel that take one back to ancient Egypt, and the archaeological paradise that once existed here.

Luxor in the middle of today's modern city of Luxor, lies the Valley of the Kings where the pharaohs were worshipped as God. Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, Karnak temple, and musuems are some of its iconic landmarks here. If you've had your fill of temples and tombs for the day, there is no better way to relax in Luxor than to take a felucca ride.

Alexandria's towering Pharos lighthouse was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and its Great Library was considered a key archive for ancient knowledge, for today it is a commercial hub. Exploring the bustling streets,souks and the wide waterfront road is as much a symbol of the city as any of its monuments.
