Egypt: Things To Do
Wander around Abu Simbel
The Temple of Ramses II and the Temple of Hathor (the Sun God), devoted to his wife Nefertari, were carved out of the sandstone cliffs more than 3,000 years ago. These ancient temples are not only among the most spectacular in the world, but their removal and reconstruction are also noted as an incredible engineering effort. During the 1960s building of the High Dam on Lake Nasser, the shrines were successfully moved.
Visit Asfour Crystal Factory
With the Egyptians being the first to develop state-of-the-art technology for producing glass and cutting intricately beautiful designs, this ancient civilization began manufacturing crystals over 5,000 years ago. Founded in 1961, Asfour Crystal Factory has become one of Egypt's largest and most respected crystal companies, supplying crystals to numerous countries across the world.
Last but not least- Pyramids of Giza
The pyramids are the world's oldest tourist attraction and is the last of the world's seven ancient marvels. The pyramids have captivated human imagination throughout history, with much speculation as to their origin and purpose. The most persuasive idea holds that they were constructed by the ancient Egyptian civilisation as tombs or huge monuments to bury their kings and nobility; a location to begin their mysterious journey to the hereafter. The Great Pyramid, the oldest and largest pyramid, is said to have taken 20 years to build and is made of over two million slabs of limestone.
