Egypt tours and travel packages include attractions like the pyramids and the Sphinx at Giza, the Valley of the Kings and Valley of the Queens near Luxor, Cairo, ancient temples, the Egyptian Antiquities Museum, Nile cruises, St. Catherine's monastery, Coptic churches, shopping, desert culture and scuba diving on the Red Sea.

Travelers have been marveling at Egypt's wondrous antiquities for thousands of years—even the ancient Greeks and Romans were awed by them. But today, travel to Egypt is more than an immersion into past glories—mud-brick villages sprout TV antennae, stone and glass high-rises tower over ancient monuments and pop music blaring from radios counterpoints the call to prayer. Although modern life coexists with the legacies of the past, it has also opened up possibilities for exploring a wider area of Egypt. In addition to the great monuments of the Nile Valley, an Egyptian itinerary could also include diving along the Red Sea coast, a desert trek to remote oases or a visit to the Sinai Peninsula. The hub of transportation—and most likely your first and last stop in the country—remains Cairo, a city that never fails to make a strong impression.

Nearly everyone will enjoy seeing the sights of Egypt. Travelers should be aware that there are areas of the country that are quite poor. Some visitors may be bothered by the heat (even during winter), and others may find the amount of walking necessary to see the various temples to be a physical strain. However, if a visit is properly paced for the age of the traveler, there shouldn't be problems. All things considered, Egypt's rewards far outweigh its disadvantages.

Although nearly all of Egypt is desert, the small part that isn't—the valley of the Nile River—is vital to the nation (95% of the population lives within a few miles/kilometers of the Nile's banks). Egypt is the largest country in the Arab world, and among African nations, is second in population only to Nigeria (Cairo, the continent's most populous city, has 10 million people).
