We start the tour...
Since they were created more than 4000 years ago, the pyramids of Egypt have been the most emblematic monuments of the Egyptian civilization, as well as the oldest and only wonder that is preserved, it is worth mentioning the three great pyramids of Giza, the Tombs of the Keops kings, Kefrén and Micerino, whose construction dates back to the period called the Ancient Empire of Egypt.
The Great Pyramid of Giza, built by Cheops, is one of the seven wonders of the world.
The Nile River has much to offer. It is a source of resources and also one of the most important tourist attractions in the country. There are many things to see on the banks of the Nile. If you are interested in touring it you can do it on board cruises that depart from numerous cities along the shore.
You can see the different monuments and temples that make up the valley as well as enjoy activities such as boat trips to the fountain, rafting, kayaking, fishing in the Nile, bungee jumping and many more.
The Valley of the Kings is situated on the west side of the Nile in Luxor, 25 Km from the train station. It is one of the necropolis that next to the city of Thebes is classified by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
The Valley of the Kings has two parts: the Valley of the East and the Valley of the West. The first is one of the most visited places by tourists and is where most of the tombs are located. It includes 62 tombs that in ancient times were numbered according to their discovery.
The most well-known and visited tombs are: King Thutmose I, Thutmose III, Ramses VI, Mrenptah and Amonhotep II; However, the tomb of Tut-Anj-Amun (Tut-Anj-Amun) is the one that has deserved the greatest fame, since to this day it is the only one to have been discovered with all its treasures, because it remained buried and therefore out of the reach of the looters until 1922.
A stroll through the colourful and bustling Islamic Quarter of Cairo is an unparalleled experience. In Cairo we will discover some of the most interesting tourist sites to see such as the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities, the Treasures of Tutankhamun and its Golden Mask.
