Since childhood, haven’t we all been curious to know what is inside pyramids? The stories have made us believe that there is a treasure. Whatever is there, don’t you want to find out? If yes, join us for a vacation to Egypt.
One can safely call Egypt the land under a divine spell. Otherwise, where on Earth can one come across a place rich in history and at the same time soaking in beauty? For many, Egypt is only a deserted country filled with sand and pyramids. Yes, that is the main tourist attraction, but there is much more beyond your imagination in Egypt. Egypt is one of the oldest civilisations in the world. It is home to 1 of the 7 wonders of the world – The Great Pyramids of Giza. And apart from that, the ancient statues, tombs and monuments are cradled and continue to be a top site for exploration for archaeologists even today! Egypt is also known as the “Land of Pharaohs” and houses the longest river in the world – River Nile!
Amidst Egypt’s slow-paced lifestyle, Egypt also enjoys the city life through its widespread and bustling city – Cairo! If intricate and remarkable Egyptian architecture does not interest you, Egypt has multiple adventure activities to keep you engaged. The crystal clear blue waters and surreal gold sand beaches offer thrilling sports such as desert safari, horseback riding, diving, surfing and sailing. You can also spend the day picnicking at the spots and take delight in watching the sunset! Not to forget, Egyptian delicacies and local cuisine influenced by the Middle East will captivate your soul!
Temples, Treasures, Pyramids, History, Culture, Tourism – Egypt is a paradise and a storehouse worth exploring for every traveller.
