A world tour would take you all over the

world, and to all the major tourist

destinations around the world. You might

find yourself in Paris to see the Tower of

Eiffel, or you might find yourself staring at

the Statue of Liberty while on a world tour.

It might as well find you staring at the

posts in the imperial city of Mekenes in

Morocco, or you might find yourself

looking at the Buckingham Palace. If you

love antiquity and treasure old things, you

would love being in Egypt for a vacation.

With its tombs and pyramids, Egypt stands

out of other places in the world with its

magnificent pyramids and the Sphinx.

Some General Facts

about Egypt

If you are looking forward to a tour of Egypt in

the near future, you should be sure you have

some general information about Egypt. Egypt

is an Arab Republic located in North Africa

bordering the Mediterranean Sea. It has the Red

Sea in its west. Sudan lies in the South, while

Libya occupies a place in the West. Egypt has

an area of 1,001,450 square km. A large part of

it is made of desert, although quite a bit of it is

occupied by the Nile River. With scanty rainfall

all over, the Nile River remains the sole source

of moisture for a large populace. Egypt houses

the Suez Canal that acts as a shortcut between

sailors who intend to sail from Europe to

Western Asia and India. It provides a better

route than having to travel all the way around

the African continent. It has Cairo as its capital

city, which lies in the north east.

Your Budget Would

Determine Which

Tour Package to Opt

For

tourists willing to travel to Egypt. Of

course, they offer all general information

about Egypt as well. As per estimates, the

country attracts as many as 12 million

tourists each year. While a few tourists

flock here for the sun, sea and sand, others

look forward to touring the historical

places in Egypt including the pyramids and

the Sphinx. There are resorts of retreat in

places like Sharm-el-Sheikh and Hurghada,

while some tourists like to relax bathing in

the clear waters of the Red Sea. Some of

the best scuba-diving adventures could be

enjoyed here, if you are into this sport.

Are Kings Buried In

The Valley of the

Kings?

The Egyptians did build mighty pyramids to

make the pharaohs’ era memorable, but some

other hidden mausoleums were also made in

that era. One of the most famous of these

mausoleums is the Valley of the Kings. This is

located near Luxor, an ancient city of Egypt to

the west of the river Nile. These tombs contain

evidences of a hefty preparation for the life in

the world after death. A colossal amount of

treasures and clothes were stacked in such

tombs to help the dead royalty in the other

world. The bodies of the dead were preserved

by the process of mummification.

The first mummy to form a part of an exhibit in

a museum was the Ginger. It was dug out in the

later years of the 19th century, and is on display

at the British Museum. It is believed to belong

to the era of 3400 BC.
