Cairo, the modern capital, is the largest city on the African continent, with its minarets and domes, bazaars and alleyways recalling scenes from 1001 Nights. Highlights include the magnificent Egyptian Museum and the sole surviving member of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the Pyramids of Giza.
Thebes, modern day Luxor, was famed throughout the ancient world. The monumental temples at Luxor and Karnak are enduring symbols of its glorious past. Across the Nile, on the West Bank, lies the Theban necropolis, a veritable open-air museum.
The Red Sea Riviera is an ideal winter sun destination boasting many quality hotels, providing excellent opportunities to simply relax and enjoy the sunny climate, spend time in the Spa, snorkel, scuba dive, or enjoy the nightlife and entertainment. |
