Stay At Hotels In Egypt And Unlock Ancient Mysteries
Mysterious ancient sites and impressive monuments are just some of the attractions that have been drawing holidaymakers to Egypt for many years. These are of course supported by the wide range of shops, restaurants and hotels in Egypt, which combine with other facilities and amenities to make a solid tourist infrastructure. Finding a place to stay and all the conveniences that go with it should not be a problem, but choosing which of the many amazing sites to see might be more tricky. So, here are the top five most popular choices to help you on your way:
1. Pyramids of Giza and the Mighty Sphinx
This complex, on the outskirts of Cairo, consists of the three pyramids of Khufu, Kafhre and Menkaura, often collectively called the ‘Great Pyramids’. Also located here is the famous ancient half lion, half human creature: the mighty Sphinx. An evening sound and light show offers a quirky approach to education, with a commentary on the history of Egypt and its pyramids by the Sphinx itself.
2. The Valley of the Kings
Found near the city of Luxor, this historic site was the burial ground of the famous King Tut, or Tutankhamun. Holidaymakers can tour several intact temples, including the Karnak and Luxor Temples, while the Mummification Museum takes visitors through the steps involved in creating a mummy.
3. Abu Simbel
Pharaoh Ramesses II built these temples to commemorate his beautiful Queen, Nefertari. Some of the most notable features are the huge 20 meter tall statues of Ramesses II that guard the entrance to the temple. Taking a cruise from Aswan is an excellent way to enjoy both Abu Simbel and the Nile River in one holiday experience.
4. Cairo
The city of Cairo is home to a population of 5 million and a wealth of attractions along with it. From mosques, Coptic churches, and bazaars to the world’s oldest university, there is plenty to see. Meanwhile, there are over 120,000 artefacts to examine at the Egyptian Museum, including a King Tut exhibit featuring his famous gold death mask. There are plenty of good quality Egypt hotels in the city that can also be used as a base for exploring the surrounding area if desired.
5. The Nile River
Taking a cruise down the Nile River in a ‘Felucca’ sailboat is an unforgettable experience. People have been making this journey for centuries. Holidaymakers can enjoy an evening cruise or take longer journeys, stopping off at various cities along the river. Staying at one of the river’s ‘floating hotels’ is a great way to enjoy the Nile and all its beauty, while experiencing the best that Egypt hotels have to offer.
