Cairo – the largest city in Africa and Middle East is the centre of Ancient Egyptian civilization, most profoundly seen in the Pharaonic pyramids of Giza.
Aswan – “the sunny city” is the tourist destination, offering a wide variety of ancient monuments and distinctive natural scenery. The beautiful Nile waters in Aswan meet the desert, lap against granite rocks and around emerald islands covered in palm groves and tropical plants.
Luxor - Its magnificent temples, tombs and palaces - built from enduring sandstone and granite - border the banks of the Nile River. On the east bank stand the Luxor and Karnak temples, while Queen Hatshepsut's temple lines the west bank of the river. The great city's necropolis contains the Valley of the Kings, the Valley of the Queens and tombs of the nobles - a testament to Luxor's ancient name al-Uqsur, or city of the palaces.
