The Place

An Egypt vacation typically focuses on ancient civilization at the Giza Pyramids and Great Sphinx, near Cairo - often considered the cosmopolitan capital of the Arab world. The southern city of Luxor contains numerous ancient sites, such as the Karnak Temple and the Valley of the Kings. But, Egypt is also famous for popular modern beach destinations like Sharm El Sheikh and Hurghada which some consider to be among the best diving in the world. Egpyt combines old and new as few places can.
