1. The Great Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx - Anyone who comes to Egypt who wants to make the pyramids and the Sphinx at the top of your list. You gain a sense of overwhelming fear when they are part of its greatness, its size and presence. Most tour operators organize tours for both areas, but can not take inside and anyone who so wish should buy the tickets for themselves.
2. Mummification Museum - Based in Luxor to discover the secret life of embalming and mummification even the tools used. However, do not wait for mummies human testimony only because you'll also find the mummies of the last creatures too. A little creepy, but worth a visit!
3. Pharos - Also in Luxor, Pharos is the second of the Seven Wonders of Egypt (the Great Pyramid is the first). Originally built as a landmark in terms of navigation, eventually became a beacon, before being partially destroyed by several earthquakes.
4. The Valley of the Kings - Valley of the Kings was the final resting place for many members of royalty in ancient Egypt, but not more famous Tutankhamun. Located in western Luxor, across the Nile, you can explore the ancient tombs. However, keep in mind that during the summer months, the tombs can get unbearably hot and we recommend that you visit in November to March.
5. The Nile - The Nile has always been Egypt's lifeline, without it, civilization would not have been able to survive in hot deserts and desolate. The best way to see the Nile is speed, and there are plenty of them. But if you fancy something more, try to take a felucca (small boat) in place.
6. The Egyptian Museum - The Egyptian Museum is a must for anyone with even a vague interest in the history of ancient Egypt. With more than 120,000 objects, including sculptures, and up to nine mummies to see you win a huge inciting how the ancient Egyptians probably lived. The museum is located in Cairo.
7. Cairo - Cairo is the capital of Egypt, and can be loved and hated at the same time, the dust and itching, but then for its beauty and elegance. Religion is very important to the Egyptians, and Cairo is full of Islamic mosques. The bazaars can be wonderful places to buy trinkets that make wonderful gifts for family and friends, but be careful all the time. We can also find the ancient site of Babylon Roman settlement here.
8. Abu Simbel - Abu Simbel is located near the Great Pyramids. Composing the two Abu Simbel temples are hidden behind huge pharaonic monuments, towering above his head and is believed to have been built for Ramses II. Sunlight gives the visitor a truly unique spectacle of light as it flows into the inner sanctum.
9. Karnak - Karnak is the home of one of the largest temples of Egypt. Also found in Karnak that you can find a row of ram-headed sphinxes, unusual, because usually the sphinx has the head of a man. The temple is enormous, and probably would take several days to explore fully.
10. Siwa Oasis - The Western Desert, near Libya, is where the desert of Siwa, and is the most remote oasis town in Egypt. Here the locals speak their mother tongue, and is famous for its magnificent hot springs, which are always popular.
