More tourist attractions in Egypt are below:
Luxor Temple
The spectacular Luxor Temple is situated in the center of Luxor city. The Temple of Luxor was built largely by Amenhotep III and Ramesses II around 1400BC. Its main purpose was to celebrate the festival of Opet. Many rulers built on to the temple yet it always remained a place of worship for Christians and subsequently the Muslims. A mosque built inside the temple still exists and is one of the highlights of the site. Luxor Temple is beautifully lit at night so it's worth visiting the site at sunset.
The Egyptian Museum in Cairo
The Egyptian Museum in Cairo is one of the first stops on most people's itineraries when traveling to Egypt. With more than 120,000 artifacts, the museum houses an incredible display depicting ancient Egypt's glorious reign. Apart from this, mummies, sarcophagi, pottery, jewelry apart from King Tutankhamen's treasures can be traced.
Contrary to the popular thinking that Egypt is full of mummies which are similar to each other. But this is not the case as Egypt instead offers something much more thereby becoming one of the major tourist attractions of the world.
Felucca on the Nile
Taking a Felucca down the Nile is something a tourist must do when visiting Egypt. Feluccas are sail boats that have been used on the Nile since antiquity. There are short sunset sails in Cairo and Alexandria as well as long cruises which usually depart from Aswan.
Valley of the Kings
The Valley of the Kings which is also known as Biban El Moluk is situated on the ancient site of Thebes and is where the pharaoh's were buried and believed to meet their Gods in the afterlife. This is the place where Tutankhamun's tomb can be found which was discovered almost intact in the 1920's. You can go inside the tomb, but you'll have to visit the Egyptian Museum in Cairo to see the treasures he was buried with. Tutankhamun was actually quite a minor king in the scheme of things and there are many larger and more impressive tombs to discover in the Valley of the Kings.
Siwa Oasis
The Siwa Oasis is situated in the Western Desert close to the Libyan border. It is Egypt's most remote oasis town and the Siwans have developed their own distinct Berber culture. Their jewellery and crafts are exquisite. A decent road and a small airport have helped in putting Siwa Oasis on the tourist map.
Hurghada
For an amateur snorkeler or a professional diver, Hurghada on the Red Sea is the place to be. This is one of Egypt's top destinations for those looking to simply relax on the beach or enjoy some of the world's clearest waters and spectacular coral reefs. Hurghada offers more than 10 miles of beach and plenty of accommodation, restaurants and nightclubs for all budgets.
The pyramids
The most famous structure in the world was built by King Cheops (4th Dynasty) around 2650 B.C. Its height is 137 metres (originaly 146 metres). Almost 2.5 million blocks of stone were put into building this construction. All this, however, dwindles when compared to the precision and astounding ability of the ancient Egyptians in building this construction.
Throughout history there have been many speculations and theories about the Pyramids. Yet there are still many questions unanswered and which still continue to puzzle scientists, mathematicians, astronomers, historians, architects and physicists all around the world.
