Who hasn’t wanted to see the wondrous archeological sites and dazzling artifacts to be found in Egypt-a land perfectly laid out for archeology buffs?  Now, guided tours of Egypt and all its elegance are available for travelers from all around the planet to visit and explore.  Let’s have a look at what many led tours have to offer .  

Most guided tours of Egypt begin in Cairo, where Egypt’s largest airfield and largest city are waiting to greet you.  While in Egypt, your guide may take you to the famous Egyptian Museum, where the treasures of Tutankhamen and other ancient artifacts are available for viewing.  You may take a drive to Old Cairo, the area where ancient Christians and Jews lived in the city.  Have fun shopping at the colourful Khan El Khalili Bazaar and do not forget to bargain.  

One of the most lovely sites on steered tours of Egypt is a visit to the pyramids and the great Sphinx of Giza, a five thousand~ 5,000 years old monument.  After taking as many photographs as you can, visit the nearby Solar ship Museum and continue on to the ancient town of Memphis, the 1st main city of United upper and lower Egypt, and see Sakkara, the location of the Step Pyramid of Zoser.  

Longer steered tours of Egypt will fly you out of the area to Sharm El Sheikh, a city on the sea with beautiful beaches, pure white sands and a chance to go diving in the Ras Mohammed Underwater Nature Reserve.  Another option is a walking tour to
visit a Bedouin camp in the desert.  Other visits include the St.  Catherine priory or night tours of Mount Sinai, where you can watch a beautiful dawn and visit the monastery found there.  

Next, some guided tours will take you on a flight to Luxor where you will take a great cruise ship for an extraordinary experience on the Nile brook.  Cruise trips generally last 5 days and 4 nights.  You may visit the Luxor temple that was originally devoted to the God Amon-Ra.  Karnak church is nearby also.  Guided tours of the area will have you continue on your cruise liner and will take you to the famous Valley of the Kings and Queens, where you can see the Funerary church of Queen Hatshepsut and countless other archeological findings.  The cruise ship will be sailing upstream and will take you up to Edfu where you may visit the Edfu temple, a famous part of Egyptian architecture.  Still on the cruise ship the next day, steered tours of the Nile will stop off at the church of Kom Ombo, another Egyptian archeological find and to the Nilometer, a dazzling site built by the pharaohs of Egypt that was built to measure the peak of the waters of the Nile stream.  

Next, led tours along the Nile brook will show you the fantastic and famous Aswan High Dam, as well as the Philae church and the big half finished obelisk in the nearby granite quarry.  At this point, your ship journey is complete and you will fly back to the town of Cairo.  Steered tours of Egypt, especially if they are comprehensive, will show you many superb archeological sites and will teach you the history of this interesting part of the planet.  You can see tons of ancient Egyptian artifacts and you will come away with a new appreciation of how the ancient Egyptians lived and built their monuments.
