Cairo<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Egypt\u2019s bustling capital city, Cairo is where a lot of the action is in terms of museums and ancient Egyptian landmarks, so many travellers choose to start and end their journey here. Cairo is home to the Egyptian Museum, so fans of ancient Egypt should make this their first port of call; take in ancient artifacts, including mummies, and learn more about the city as it was thousands of years ago. Be sure to visit Khan al-Khalili, a major bazaar where you\u2019ll find everything from tasty snacks to the perfect souvenir from your trip: trust us, you\u2019re going to want to remember this one!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luxor<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

History buffs, this is your lucky day: Luxor has been called \u201cthe world\u2019s biggest open-air museum,\u201d because everywhere you look there\u2019s a new ancient wonder to behold. Home to the Valley of the Kings – the site of 63 ancient royal burial tombs, each more incredible and opulent than the last – Luxor is the type of place ancient Egypt aficionados and lovers of amazing architecture and culture alike can make their perfect day. Visit Karnak, the massive complex of temples that was once the most important place of worship in Egypt, or the iconic Luxor Temple, where massive statues of the gods loom over everyone who passes by. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visit the Pyramids of Giza<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It wouldn\u2019t be a trip to Egypt without this, right? The Pyramids of Giza, three ancient structures outside of Cairo, are the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and the only one to remain mostly intact. If that isn\u2019t impressive enough, the pyramids are possibly one of the most iconic structures in the world, can be seen from space, and were constructed from 2580-2560 BCE. From the years of 2560 BCE to 1311 ACE, the Great Pyramid of Giza was the tallest structure in the world! Try to get to the pyramids in the morning, because, like any other incredible bucket-list destination, the area surrounding them gets very busy throughout the day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
