If you want to combine the old Egypt with the new. Visit the temples of Luxor, Karnak, Edfu and Dendera then escape to the cool of the high domed city mosques. View one of the Seven Great Wonders of the World - the Pyramids of Giza - then in nearby Cairo, see Tutankhamen’s treasures, visit the famous mediaeval citadel and shop in open-air bazaars before visiting the Opera House. Or simply stroll around the streets of Cairo where long-robed men in donkey carts mix with suited business people.
