Tour Highlights – 12 Days Cairo with Nile Cruise and Red Sea Holiday from Canada

First off, the charming sight of the Giza Pyramids is upon us, that wondrous monument worthy of the splendors of Egypt in the ancient times. Well, after a trip through the desert, it is good to stop by the Grand Egyptian Museum, noted for antiquities telling the story of the Egyptian pharaohs. This journey to Aswan is a journey into a tranquil riverside town of palm banks and Nubian culture. The elegance of the Temple of Philae stands alone on an island with divine beauty dedicated to Isis. Next will be the chance to witness in your own eyes the grandeur of the Aswan High Dam, considered the project capable of forever altering the course of the Nile.

A visit to Kom Ombo allows one to witness the unusual double temple erected to crocodile god Sobek and falcon god Horus, of whose walls come intricate reliefs. Heading onward and northward, the Temple of Edfu to Horus offers one of the most complete and best-preserved Ptolemaic temple architectures in all of Egypt.

Multiple sanctuaries, pylons, and columns have been through several channels of development for a period estimated at possibly two thousand, or well over a thousand, years, at Karnak Temple on the East Bank of Luxor. The western side conceals some royal mysteries of Egypt; the richly carved tombs of the Valley of the Kings, the Mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, and the colossal, silent Colossi of Memnon. Hurghada skies and the present moment make for an awesome time to relax and rejuvenate. The Beach is an irresistible place to just snorkel, scuba dive with golden sands on one side and turquoise waters on the other, or simply sunbathe. Go for the desert safari if your heart desires utter calmness; or for coral reef action, get your adrenaline pumping.
