Who has not wanted to see the wondrous archeological sites and dazzling artifacts to be found in Egypt-a land perfectly laid out for archeology buffs?  Now, guided tours of Egypt and all its splendor are available for travelers from all around the planet to go to and explore.  Let’s have a look at what many steered tours have to offer .  

Most guided tours of Egypt begin in Cairo, where Egypt’s biggest airport and biggest city are waiting to greet you.  While in Egypt, your guide may take you to the famous Egyptian Museum, where the treasures of Tutankhamen and other traditional artifacts are available for viewing.  You may take a drive to Old Cairo, the area where ancient Christians and Jews lived in the city.  Have fun shopping at the colorful Khan El Khalili Bazaar and remember to bargain.  

One of the most beautiful sites on guided tours of Egypt is a trip to the pyramids and the great Sphinx of Giza, a five thousand~ five thousand years old monument.  After taking as many pictures as you can, visit the nearby Solar ship Museum and continue on to the traditional town of Memphis, the first main city of United lower and upper Egypt, and see Sakkara, the site of the Step Pyramid of Zoser.  

Longer guided tours of Egypt will fly you out of the area to Sharm El Sheikh, a town on the sea with beautiful beaches, pure white sands and a chance to go diving in the Ras Mohammed Underwater Nature Reserve.  An alternative choice is a walking tour to
visit a Bedouin camp in the desert.  Other visits include the St.  Catherine priory or night tours of Mount Sinai, where you can watch a beautiful dawn and visit the monastery found there.  

Next, some steered tours will take you on a flight to Luxor where you’ll take a fabulous cruise liner for a rememberable experience on the Nile brook.  Cruise trips typically last 5 days and four nights.  You’ll visit the Luxor church that was originally dedicated to the God Amon-Ra.  Karnak church is nearby too.  Guided tours of the area will have you continue on your cruise liner and will take you to the famous Valley of the Kings and Queens, where you can see the Funerary temple of Queen Hatshepsut and countless other archeological findings.  The cruise ship will be sailing upstream and will take you up to Edfu where you can visit the Edfu temple, a famous part of Egyptian design.  Still on the cruise ship the day after, guided tours of the Nile will stop off at the church of Kom Ombo, another Egyptian archeological find and to the Nilometer, a superb site built by the pharaohs of Egypt that was built to measure the height of the waters of the Nile river.  

Next, guided tours along the Nile brook will show you the fantastic and famous Aswan High Dam, as well as the Philae church and the enormous half finished obelisk in the nearby granite quarry.  At this point, your ship journey is complete and you will fly back to the town of Cairo.  Steered tours of Egypt, particularly if they’re complete, will show you dozens of dazzling archeological sites and will teach you the history of this interesting part of the world.  You’ll see hundreds of ancient Egyptian artifacts and you’ll come away with a new appreciation of how the traditional Egyptians lived and built their monuments.
