Travel in Egypt?

• If you are interested in antiquity and the rise and fall of empires, Egypt is the place to be. Visit the Valley of the Kings, Memphis and the pyramids of Giza. The modern cities of Cairo and Alexandria are also worth visiting, do not forget the beautiful sand dunes of the Sahara. In short, the land of the pharaohs is an extremely suitable destination for the traveler looking for culture and history. 
• Take a trip down the Nile and admire its treasures along the banks, such as the pyramids of Giza.
• Relax on the beaches along the Red Sea, avoiding the overly touristy beaches for more tranquility and nicer snorkeling opportunities.
• Visit the Khan-El Khali Bazaar in Cairo.
• Rise early for sunrise on Mount Sinai for stunning views of the desert and the Horus temple.
• Take a camel trek through the desert and experience the beautiful starry sky at night.
• Dahab on the Red Sea. No matter where you come from, the waterfront tents with the trunks, cushions, rugs and bongs are relaxing for everyone. Unfortunately, the coral has broken down over the years and you can't really snorkel there now. However, there are great diving spots there nearby. Also check out other villages, where you can still do some good diving and snorkeling.
• Cairo has a rich history dating back to 973 when it was founded as Al-Qahira. In 1922, it became the capital of Egypt. Tourist attractions include the Amr Mosque, the oldest mosque in Africa (10th century) and the Sultan Hasan Mosque from the 14th century. An absolute highlight is a visit to the pyramids of Giza on the outskirts of Cairo.
• Egypt's Red Sea coast runs from Sinai in the north to Sudan in the south; a distance of some 1,250 kilometers. Along the coast are several popular resorts such as Hurghada, Al Gouna and Marsa Alam. The coast near Hurghada is also called the Red Sea Riviera. Thanks to its clear water, pleasant sea water temperature and, above all, beautiful coral reefs and spectacular shipwrecks, the Red Sea is a great place to dive. For both beginners and very experienced divers, there are many beautiful dive spots to be found.
• Near the border of Libya, in the far west of Egypt, lies the oasis of Siwa. Thanks to its 250 springs, Siwa is a green pearl and stands in stark contrast to the large and dangerous sand dunes of the nearby desert. Besides the palms and olive trees, the oasis is known for its many fruit trees and Siwa provides exotic fruits such as dates, figs, limes and pomegranates.
• Wadi el-Hitan, the Valley of the Whale, is 150 km from Cairo. In 1936, extraordinary fossilized remains of whales were found here in the middle of the desert. The fossils were found to be about 40 million years old. Now this place is protected area. However, you can visit it to admire the primordial whales.
• Be prepared that the distances are often long, the temperature in summer can be very hot and the hygiene might be different than you are used to.
