Who has not wanted to see the fantastic archeological sites and amazing artifacts to be found in Egypt-a land completely laid out for archeology buffs?  Now, guided tours of Egypt and all its style are available for travelers from all around the world to visit and explore.  Let’s take 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 town 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 ancient artifacts are available for viewing.  You will take a drive to Old Cairo, the area where traditional Christians and Jews lived in the town.  Have a good time shopping at the colourful Khan El Khalili Bazaar and remember to bargain.  

One of the most pretty sites on guided tours of Egypt is a visit to the pyramids and the great Sphinx of Giza, a five thousand~ 5,000 year old monument.  After taking as many pictures as you can, visit the nearby Solar ship Museum and continue on to the traditional city of Memphis, the first capital of United lower and upper Egypt, and see Sakkara, the location 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 lovely beaches, pure white sands and a chance to go diving in the Ras Mohammed Underwater Nature Reserve.  Another option 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 gorgeous dawn and visit the monastery found there.  

Next, some guided tours will take you on a flight to Luxor where you’ll take a fantastic cruise liner for an extraordinary experience on the Nile stream.  Cruise trips sometimes last 5 days and 4 nights.  You may visit the Luxor church that was originally dedicated to the God Amon-Ra.  Karnak temple is nearby also.  Steered tours of the area will have you continue on your cruise ship and will take you to the famous Valley of the Kings and Queens, where you can see the Funerary church of Queen Hatshepsut and many other archeological findings.  The cruise ship will be sailing upstream and will take you up to Edfu where you can visit the Edfu church, a famous part of Egyptian architecture.  Still on the cruise ship the following day, steered 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 determine the height of the waters of the Nile stream.  

Next, guided tours along the Nile stream will show you the amazing and famous Aswan High Dam, as well as the Philae temple and the enormous half finished obelisk in the nearby granite quarry.  At this point, your cruise ship adventure is complete and you’ll fly back to the city of Cairo.  Guided tours of Egypt, particularly if they’re total, will show you many amazing archeological sites and will teach you the history of this engaging part of the world.  You may see hundreds of traditional Egyptian artifacts and you will come away with a new appreciation of how the traditional Egyptians lived and built their monuments.
