You’ll take a drive to Old Cairo, the area where traditional Christians and Jews lived within the town. Have fun shopping at the colourful Khan El Khalili Bazaar and remember to bargain.
One of the most beautiful sites on steered tours of Egypt is a trip to the pyramids and the great Sphinx of Giza, a five thousand~ 5,000 year old monument. After taking as many pictures as you can, visit the nearby Solar boat Museum and continue on to the ancient town of Memphis, the 1st capital of United lower and upper Egypt, and see Sakkara, the site of the Step Pyramid of Zoser.
Longer steered tours of Egypt will fly you out of the area to Sharm El Sheikh, a city on the sea with wonderful beaches, pure white sands and a chance to go diving in the Ras Mohammed Underwater Nature Reserve. Another choice is a walking tour to
visit a Bedouin camp in the desert. Other visits include the St. Catherine priory or night tours of Mount Sinai, where you can watch a beautiful dawn and visit the monastery found there.
Next, some steered tours will take you on a flight to Luxor where you’ll take a fantastic cruise liner for a unforgettable experience on the Nile river. Cruise trips sometimes last five days and 4 nights. You may visit the Luxor temple that was originally dedicated to the God Amon-Ra. Karnak temple is nearby as well . Steered tours of the area will have you continue on your ship and will take you to the famous Valley of the Kings and Queens, where you can see the Funerary temple of Queen Hatshepsut and many other archeological findings. The cruise ship will be sailing upstream and will take you up to Edfu where you can visit the Edfu temple, a famous part of Egyptian design. Still on the cruise ship the next day, led tours of the Nile will stop off at the temple of Kom Ombo, another Egyptian archeological find and to the Nilometer, an amazing site built by the pharaohs of Egypt that was built to determine the peak of the waters of the Nile brook.
Next, guided tours along the Nile brook will show you the superb and famous Aswan High Dam, as well as the Philae temple and the big half finished obelisk in the nearby granite quarry.
