Egypt has fascinating ancient history that has held the world’s interest for centuries. Most of Egypt’s history revolves around Pharaohs, the conquering by Alexander the Great, King Tutankhamun, and Queen Cleopatra. However, this is not all the history Egypt has to offer.
Ancient Egyptians inspired a lot of modern civilization. Some of the aspects of modern life can be traced back to Egypt, from architecture, art deco, medicine, and astrology to name but a few. It is incredible to see for yourself how this country grew to what it is now from the archaeological finds that remains to this day.
The main historical sights in Egypt that should be on your itinerary are listed below. These are found both in Cairo, and throughout the country:

3. Egypt is the Ultimate Scuba Diving and Beach Destination
Yes, there is a lot of history in Egypt, but don’t tempted to think that Egypt is all about pyramids and mummies. It also happens to have some of the best beaches in the world. The beautiful beaches are perfect for relaxing and exploring the magnificent Red Sea. The main beaches are Dahab, Hurghada, and Sharm el-Sheikh.
Scuba diving in Egypt – particularly in the Red Sea – is incredible. Divers can enjoy shallow patch reefs, drift dives, wall dives and exploration of wrecks on the ocean floor. The algae bloom in the Red Sea, which happen in spring and fall make it one of the best places in the world to dive. The top dive sites in Egypt, according to Deeper Blue, are:
- SS Thistlegorm, Sharm El Sheikh
- Big Brother, Hurghada
- Shark and Yolanda Reef, Sharm El Sheikh
- Elphinstone Reef, Marsa Alam
- Jackson Reef, Straits of Tiran, Sharm El Sheikh
Other than that, you can have some time swimming with dolphins in the Red Sea. Wild dolphins are found along the sea, and swimming or free diving with these amazing animals is something you can never forget.
4. The Nile Cruise is Breath Taking
An Egypt trip is never complete without a Nile cruise. Who wouldn’t love sailing down the famous Nile? The setting is almost mystical complete with a great ship, a setting sun, and amazing views of Egypt’s cities and temples.
The best part about it is that it is not expensive like other cruises you know. Nile cruises are intended for sight-seeing and as such are smaller riverboats. The boats stop at intervals along the Nile to allow people to get off and explore. Onboard, buffets and nightlife are available.
If intending to explore Luxor, Aswan and every temple between them, there is no better way to do this than through a Nile cruise. The sightseeing through a cruise adds flavor to the entire experience.
Start here when planning your trip to be sure you can fit the Nile cruise into your itinerary.

5. Egyptian Food is Amazing
When planning for a trip anywhere in the world, food is an important consideration. Fortunately, you can never go wrong with Egyptian food. It is simply unique and delicious.
Also note that Egyptian food is a bit of history, religion and geography and as such, a lot of vegetables and meats such as chicken, rabbit, duck and pigeon, and fish are mostly in the mix. Other than these, some of the most popular dishes include kebabs and Kofta, Kushari, Om Ali, and Ta’meya and Ful Medames. These dishes have been part of Egypt for ages, and it is not a complete visit to Egypt without trying these tasty dishes.
Where to get food is always a common concern among travelers. You can get food anywhere from local vendors. Your tour guide can also suggest the best places to eat. As for water, always remember that tap water in Egypt is not consumable. You should always carry or buy bottled water.
