Cairo stands out as the largest urban center in Africa, as well as the Arab-speaking World, it is also one of the most densely-populated locations on the planet. Nicknamed "The City of a Thousand Minarets" because of its preponderance of Islamic buildings, Cairo has long been home to the region's political as well as cultural life. Even before Cairo had been founded in the 10th century, the land composing the present-day city had been the site of indigenous capitals whose monuments continue to be apparent in parts of Old Cairo.

Cairo is usually connected with Historic Egypt because of its closeness to the Great Sphinx and also the pyramids in surrounding Giza. Egyptian pyramids aren't simply intriguing and spectacular but are also abundantly supplied with mystery and splendour. Egypt packages usually present a lot of ancient Egyptian civilization along with the high level of sophistication and the genius that was utilized by the actual ancient Egyptians in constructing the pyramids. 

No visit to Cairo is complete without a visit to the sprawling Egyptian Museum , a visitor could spend a week in there and still not see all of the wonders on offer.

Luxor was initially the historic city of Thebes, the truly amazing capital of Egypt throughout the New Kingdom, and also the marvelous city of the god Amon-Ra.

The other main attraction is a visit to the Valley of the Kings and the tomb of Tutankhamun. Or why not relax on the patio of your hotel with a cool drink and watch the awe inspiring Nile Sun set.

Many people today still think of Egypt as a desert country, which it is to a large extent. But between its mainland Mediterranean coast, its long mainland Red Sea coast and the Sinai, it has an impressive amount of beach area. In fact, despite Egypt's aggressive construction of new beach resorts, the Sinai's western coast remains almost completely undeveloped. However, a notable exception is Ras Sidr, which is a very nice beach better known to Egyptians than foreign travelers. It lies about sixty kilometers south of the Ahmed Hamdi Tunnel at the gulf of Suez's northern end.

The eastern coastline and the southern tip of the Sinai have a number of beach resort regions, though by far the most developed region is the region in and around Sharm el-Sheikh. At the other end of the Gulf of Aqaba to the north, Taba has also seen significant development, including an attempt to reproduce the success of El-Gouna on Egypt's mainland Red Sea coast in a project called Taba Heights. Between Taba and Sharm el-Sheikh, the major resorts are found at Nuweiba and Dahab, but all along the eastern coastline of the Sinai are a number of more primitive, though frequently popular, camp areas intermingled with some better resort compounds.

Sharm el-Sheikh is a very different resort community for Egypt, more like one might find in Europe, or even the US. Many of the main resorts are connected by a "boardwalk", which allows one to walk along a path bordered by shops, restaurants, clubs and hotels. There is excitement in the air here, particularly in the evenings when various entertainment cascades down Sharm el-Sheikh in the eveningthe walk, and it seems like the crowds walking along speak in dozens of different languages.

The main beach areas at Sharm el-Sheikh itself comprise two adjacent bays, known as Na'ama Bay and Sharm al-Maya. Of these, Na'ama Bay is the oldest development and the location of the boardwalk. Here, hotels are just separated from the beach by the boardwalk, with some facilities such as beach front restaurants and bars built on the beach itself. Sharm al-Maya is less developed with slightly more isolated beach resorts. Relaxing on the beach at Sharm el-SheikhThe resort community of Sharm el-Sheikh, usually simply referred to as Sharm, is one of the two main beach havens in Egypt, the other being the vicinity in and around Hurghada on the mainland coast. While Sharm has a completely different flavor than Hurghada, it too receives most of its visitors by European charters. Even though there have been some very fine hotels built at Hurghada, and particularly at El-Gouna just north of Hurghada (and in other areas around Hughada), Sharm el-Sheikh has always been considered the most upscale of the two resort areas. In fact, one will find very few hotels other than four or five stars in Sharm el-Sheikh, while those of Hurghada are more varied.

A first time visitor to Egypt who wants a classical (pharaonic antiquities) experience would do well to book a Nile cruise. Of course modern airlines shuttle tourists to the southern region of Egypt, but historically the Nile cruise was really the only way to visit the temples and tombs located along this stretch of the river. It is still a popular means of visiting upper Egypt and has many advantages to other means of travel.

First of all, it is very nice to unpack and once and have your hotel travel with you, rather than the hectic routine that accompanies the stop and go itineraries of air and land tours. But besides the more relaxed mode of travel, there are other significant advantages. 

Nile cruises often visit a wider variety of antiquities along the banks of the river. But equally important, they also allow the tourist to gain a prospective of the rural Egypt, where people live much the same way they did even thousands of years ago, in mudbrick homes, tending their fields with wooden plows and moving produce via donkey. It is a wonderful experience to sit on a sred sea reefhaded deck of a floating hotel, sipping an iced beverage while watching 5,000 years of culture slowly drift by.

Spring Tours may very considerably, but typical Nile cruises are either three, four or seven nights. The shorter tours usually operate between Luxor and Aswan, while the longer cruises travel further north to Dendera, often offering day tours overland to more remote locations. Therefore, a fairly complete 14 day tour of Egypt might include several days around Cairo, seeing the pyramids, museums and other antiquities, a short flight to Abu Simbel in the very southern part of Egypt surrounding a seven day Nile Cruise.
