10 Attractions in Egypt

When visiting some foreign place, most people don't really know what to do and were to go to make the best out of their trip. They mostly rely on tour guides if they hire one to show them around. However most people don't like to hire a tour guide for privacy reasons or some other reasons. Also some people don't want to waste their money hiring tour guides.

Never the less one should at least identify about the normally trendy attractions in the land they are visiting so that they have somewhat to glimpse forward to. There are hundreds of things to see in Egypt as it is mother state to one of the oldest kingdom of the world. Following are the top 10 attractions worth visiting in Egypt.

The Cairo tower is one of the supreme wonder of Egyptian structural design. The tower is about 187 meters high and gives a magnificent outlook of the city. The view is especially overwhelming at night when the building lights look like flash lights in the black sky. Perhaps the most capable attraction in Egypt is the pyramid of Giza.

These pyramids are more than 4000 years old and are conceivably the oldest standing structures in the world. These huge structures were the tallest structures in the world for a long time. Although, their glorious height is no longer a surprise for the world, yet their exclusive design and structural design still makes people wonder about the great nation of ancient Egypt.

The Nile River is also a grand place to stopover. The well-known river has been the resource of life for the Egyptians for centuries. The night panorama at the river is purely brilliant when the reflection of the stars highlights the beauty of the river. To the west bank of the river is the Valley of the Kings which is an entombment site for the kings of Egypt dating back to the 11th century B.C. These tombs are still being studied by archaeologists for more information about the inexplicable and great civilization of ancient Egypt.

Near the Valley of the Kings is the Luxor temple which is well thought-out to be the temple of Amon Ra (The sun god), the major god in Egyptian folklore. For those who admire history and desire to examine archaic artefacts, the Egyptian museum is the finest place to visit. The museum is maybe one of the greatest museums of the world and contains some remnants dating back to 4000 B.C. The total number of artefacts is more than 120,000 and is still increasing.

The red sea coast is also a marvellous place to trip. The resorts at the coast are among the best in the world. There are a lot of conduct to take bliss in being at the red sea coast such as underwater diving, fishing and other such activities. For those who enjoy zealous scenes, the white desert is perhaps one of the must see places. Viewing the sunset in this area is a truly terrific sight.

Last but not the least, Abu Simbel and Dakhla are two must visit places for anyone getting a chance to visit the wondrous land of Egypt.
