Egypt, land of the Nile, tomb of the pharaohs. Once a sparkling – now crumbling – wonderland of the ancient past.
The Saqqara cemetery is one of the most important archaeological areas in Egypt, as it contains tombs whose walls are covered with very beautiful and magnificent inscriptions. There are also pyramids, temples, and tombs of the Serapeum. Its name was derived from the god of the cemetery, “Sokar.”
One of the largest museums in the world, it contains more than 50 thousand artifacts, including the display of King Tutankhamun’s belongings for the first time in full. Among the striking things is the museum’s majestic facade, which was designed in a very precise scientific manner.
Located 8 km south of Aswan, the "Philae Temples" were divided and reassembled in a new location on "Agilika Island" approximately 500 m from its original location following the construction of the High Dam. It is a beautiful place prepared to be similar to the original location. The temple was dedicated to the worship of the "goddess Isis".
It is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Greater Cairo, and includes many archaeological sites, including: the Ben Ezra Jewish Synagogue, the churches of ancient Egypt, the holy crypt of Jesus, the hanging church, the Mosque of Amr Ibn Al-Aas, the Nilometer on Rawda Island, the Manasterly Palace, and the Muhammad Ali Palace in Manial.
Egypt’s fascinating history extending to the world’s civilization makes it the best and oldest destination on earth for travel.
