  • Giza Pyramids Complex

There aren’t enough words that can describe how majestic is the incredible Giza Pyramids Complex with all of the great attractions that are scattered in all of its parts giving the chance to tourists to enjoy a free tour to places where the ancient pharaohs and their workers used to live and work. That complex has the three fascinating Pyramids of kings Cheops, Chephren, and Mycerinus while ruling Egypt one by one during the leadership of the Third Dynasty, and their Pyramids are the best example of the technological progress and the intelligence which the ancients had during their life. The complex also comprises the Sphinx of king Chephren that was the guard of the Complex for hundreds of years and the site where the ancients used to accomplish their mummification and purification processes to the bodies of their dead people and that site is called the Valley Temple.

  • The Egyptian Museum

In order to enjoy a unique history in Egypt, you need to visit a place that contains lots of ancient Egyptian artifacts and monuments and wherever you search, you won’t find a place like the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities to visit and enjoy the numerous number of findings that get back to different eras in Egypt. The most impressive part inside the Museum is the room that contains the treasures of the young Pharaoh Tutankhamun with its Golden Mask. Nearly all of those treasures are made of Gold and that is why they are really priceless. This museum is located in Cairo which is one hour driving from Giza and there is some exceptional news regarding a new museum to be built in Giza and it is going to be the greatest and the biggest museum to be ever built on earth. It is called the Grand Egyptian Museum and it is going to be a real masterpiece and the busiest tourist spot all around Egypt after Giza Complex.

Just a short walk and you will find yourself in the plateau where the two colossal statues of Pharaohs Amenhotep III were established in front of his mortuary Temple and of course you can’t be in Luxor and miss a visit to the incredible temple of Queen Hatshepsut. In order to manage a tour from Sharm El-Sheikh to Luxor, there are two ways, either to catch a flight from Sharm to Cairo and then catch a direct flight from Cairo to Luxor and do the same thing on your way back or to check what are the exact days and timing that the direct flights from Sharm to Luxor will be available to make the best benefit out of your money and time.
