Visit The Valley Of The Kings

On the banks of the River Nile near Luxor is situated a collection of some of the most amazing royal burial chambers that you could ever imagine. There are 63 different tombs, many of which you can explore. Some are single chambers where the riches of the Pharaohs were stored for thousands of years. The largest tomb has 120 chambers and belonged to the sons of Rameses the second.

The Pyramids Of Giza

No trip to Egypt would be complete without seeing the only remaining wonder of the ancient world. The pyramids were built around 4000 years ago by out of work farmers whose fields had been flooded. Built over around 80 years, these structures are a feat of engineering brilliance. It is staggering to imagine that an ancient culture could create something like this. 

One of the jewels in the grown in the area is the Great Sphinx. Part lion, part human, this is a breathtaking sight to behold and is an essential stop off in any trip to the ancient wonder that is Egypt.
