Frequently Asked Questions
What to See in Egypt?
The Giza Pyramids and the Sphinx is usually the first thing that comes to mind when people think about Egypt tourist attractions. In truth, however, there are some many other amazing ancient monuments that are just as impressive, perhaps even more impressive. The Valley of Kings is just one example. This ancient royal burial ground is home to more than 60 tombs, and several of them are open to visitors, including the tomb of King Tutankhamen.
Other examples would be the magnificent rock-cut temples of Pharaoh Ramses II and his wife Queen Nefertari at Abu Simbel, and the mortuary temple of Queen Hatshepsut in Luxor. In our opinion, the best way to see and enjoy many of the top attractions is by means of a Nile River cruise from Aswan to Luxor or from Luxor to Aswan.
What to Pack for Egypt?

However, there are some items which we would certainly recommend. These include a comfortable pair of shoes; a wide-brimmed hat; sunglasses; a few lightweight cotton tops, and of course, some sunscreen lotion. It is also advisable to pack in at least one pair of trousers and a warm top because it can get quite cool in the evenings. Packing in some warm clothing is especially important if you book one of our Egypt and Jordan tours from America. Jordan can be surprisingly cold at night.
