Visit Exciting Egypt

The Pyramids of Giza is one of the biggest tourist attractions in all of Egypt, and the last of the original Seven Wonders of the World. Giza is not only home to the last three pyramids, Kafhe, ManKaura, and of course the most famous, Khufu, but also the Great Sphinx, known in Arabic at Abu al-Hol, or Father of Terror. This gigantic sculpture, made from one solid stone block, has attracted millions of visitors alone. If you are ever wondering what happened to it's nose, two problems have occurred over the ages. While wind and sand have done their share, when Germany occupied Egypt during World War II, the Nazis used this magnificent creature for target practice.

Today you can visit The Pyramids, Sphinx and many other wonders of Egypt, including the Nile River. There are many different vacation packages available, some that are even up to 13 days at a time. Other packages, like the Red Sea 9 day vacation are all inclusive, and these start at just $1,699, including airfare from New York. The 13 day Egypt and the Nile tour includes not only deluxe hotel accommodations in Cairo, but also a seven night cruise down the Nile River, with stops at many major attractions, including the Pyramids, Sphinx, Colossus of Rameses II, Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, and the Colossi of Memnon, just to name a few.

You also get 26 meals included, all of your transportation, a professional tour guide, and you will even dine with a local family while staying in Cairo. This magnificent trip is quite reasonable, at just $3200 per person, based on double occupancy. This doesn't include taxes and other fees that may apply. These tours should be booked in advance, especially during the peak travel season.
