Take A Tour Of The Giza Pyramid Complex
First on the list of interesting things to do in Egypt is to visit the pyramids. Although their sheer size means they can be seen from far off, you have to get up close to truly appreciate their magnificence.
Despite many centuries of speculation and archeological discovery, Egypt is still a land whose early years are shrouded in mystery.
Different theories have been posited as to who built these enormous triangular structures. But one thing is certain. They were magnificent feats of engineering. Our guided tour of the Giza complex taught us so much about this remarkable part of Egyptian ancient history.
Ride Like A Bedouin
Ride through the Sinai desert like a Bedouin on the back of a camel and end the night camping under the stars in a traditional tent. We discovered many tours including this authentic desert experience.
If roughing it in a tent is not your style, opt for a Bedouin experience with a twist. Some tour packages offer glamping in the desert. It’s the best of both worlds.
See The Sites From A Different Perspective
One of the top things to do in Egypt may surprise you. Egypt’s historical treasures are always impressive, but we found a thrilling alternative way to view them - a hot air balloon ride at dawn over Luxor.
Don’t leave Egypt without experiencing this novel way to soak up some culture and history. If traveling as a couple, time your trip to coincide with Valentine’s Day for the ultimate romantic experience.
Visit The World’s Oldest Working Monastery
Egypt’s historical sites are an interesting collection of ancient Pharaonic temples, Roman architecture, and Islamic influences. But you don’t have to be religious to appreciate St. Catherine’s Monastery.
This UNESCO site is the world’s oldest functioning monastery and was built in approximately 330 AD. It will give you a glimpse into the architecture in Egypt during the Roman Empire’s period of occupation.
