Egypt is best known as the cradle of ancient Egyptian civilization, with its temples, hieroglyphics, mummies, and, most popular, its pyramids. What is less so, remains its medieval heritage, the courtesy of Coptic Christianity and Islam, ancient churches, monasteries, and mosques draw the Egyptian landscape.
Egypt stimulates the imagination of western tourists like few other countries and is probably one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world.
More than one reason to spend your holidays in Egypt:
The best time to travel to Egypt depends on where you want to go. In general, winter (December to February) is the peak tourist season and summer (June to August) is the low season in all regions of the country, except on the coast, and in Cairo. Hotel rates reflect this. As far as the weather is concerned, summer is hardly bearable almost everywhere in the south of Cairo, especially around Luxor and Aswan, where temperatures rise up to 40 ° C. The best compromise for a trip to Egypt in its entirety is to go in the spring (March to May) or fall (September to November).
The pyramids of Giza, Abu Simbel or the west bank of Luxor are in the Valley of the Kings which was the royal cemetery of the 62 pharaohs, the open-air museum of Memphis, the Saladin Castle in Cairo and the Khan El-Khalili which is one of the most interesting bazaars, not only in Egypt but throughout the Middle East. Do not forget the Hatshepsut Temple at Deir El-Bahri and the Valley of the Queens, an isolated cemetery on the west bank of Luxor. One of the most important tombs in the valley is that of the famous Queen Nefertiti, the main wife of Ramses II. In short, so much to discover and if you do not take a cruise, we advise you to rent a car in Egypt to browse its incredible sites.
