Cruising on one of the world’s most famous bodies of water is s must.

Visit the Nile River in Cairo or Aswan on a pontoon, felucca (Egyptian boats), or cruise, sail for an hour or a day, or more, relax, and stop along the way to swim and take in the magnificent river vistas in Egypt’s beautiful pharaonic heritage.

If you’re planning a summer trip to Egypt, Hurghada and Sharm El-Sheikh should be at the top of your list of places to visit.

There will be up to 14 hours of sunshine every day, which is great for sunbathing, wading, swimming, and other water activities. 

Hurghada is the most well-known Red Sea resort town in Egypt, with a plethora of entertaining activities.

The stunning picture here, complete with crystal blue seas, coral reefs, and sandy beaches, makes for fantastic swimming, snorkeling, and diving destination.

Spend one or two days seeing Alexandria, a historic port city and industrial powerhouse on the Mediterranean Sea. The sweltering summer season benefits from the sea air because Alexandria is located on Egypt’s North Coast. It has a constantly humid environment; also, summers are humid throughout the day and maybe quite hot; nevertheless, the sea breezes here are a huge relief. Visit Al-Montazah Palace and its magnificent grounds, as well as the famed Abu al-Abbas al-Mursi Mosque and the Alexandria National Museum, which houses Hellenistic antiques.

This Cairo market is bustling with vendors, food, people, and much more. Buy a handcraft for yourself or a souvenir for your loved ones back home in the Khan El Khalili market. It consists mostly of a series of small cobblestone lanes that lead to alcoves filled with anything from aromatic spices to handcrafted silver jewelry, with shopping being one of the top things to do in Cairo. Travelers in big groups can be seen buying souvenirs and haggling with vendors. After you’ve finished shopping, stop into the famed Fishawi’s café for some mint tea or Arabic coffee.

The pyramids are located on the Giza Plateau, around the point where the Saharan sands begin to appear.

A camel ride in Giza around sunset time is a great way to add to the beauty of your vacation. 

On each journey to Cairo, seeing these 4th-dynasty pyramids and their guardian Great Sphinx rise from the Giza Plateau is a must.

At sunset, you may marvel at the golden sands and pyramids in a ray of sunlight that is rarely seen by visitors.
