Temples, tombs, monasteries and mosques as well as the awe inspiring Pyramids and Sphinx of Giza combine to make up forty centuries of history. Tutankhamun’s solid gold funerary mask and eleven of Egypt’s most illustrious Kings and Queens can be seen among 100,000 relics and antiquities at Cairo’s museum. From cruises on the serene and majestic Nile between Luxor and Aswan to visiting incredible sites such as the Valleys of the Kings and 4WD excursions into the desert, this fascinating country has incredible natural beauty and captures the imagination of all who visit.
