A Brief Guide To Egypt Tour Packages
Egypt tour packages are always popular, regardless of which country you live in. One can easily spend a day learning about some of the many ancient Egyptian temples, tombs and pyramids. In fact, one could spend a lifetime learning about all the ancient attractions that await you in the Land of the Pharaohs.
What all is there to see in Egypt? One of the first things you need to take into consideration when planning your Egypt adventure is the fact that the country is divided into several sections:
What are the best Egypt tour packages? It’s really difficult to say because all people are different. However, Cairo, Egypt tour packages are among the most popular tours, and of course these nearly always include a tour of the pyramids, as well as ancient museums and churches. Some Cairo tours will only feature the Giza Plateau, which features the Sphinx and the Pyramids, while other will also include a trip to the ancient Saqqara Necropolis where even more pyramids can be seen and explored.
Luxor tours give you the opportunity to see many old statues, temples and ancient tombs. Combining Cairo and Luxor in one amazing classical Egypt tour is highly recommended. Alternatively, and maybe an even better choice are Nile cruise holidays.
Nile cruise holidays represent the finest opportunity for anyone hoping to see the majority of historic sites in Egypt. They are available in many styles.
Nile River cruises are a great way to enjoy a wonderful holiday or “getaway” while saving a great deal of time and money. All Nile cruises will require a visitor to embark from Aswan or Luxor in Upper Egypt. This is because there are no longer any trips leaving from Cairo. This is not due to a lack of interest, but rather because of difficulties in navigating the narrow “cataracts” and bends in the river.
Egypt tour packages will generally have travel itineraries that begin with a few days in the Cairo where you can view the Great Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, the Egyptian Museum, and of course explore the markets. After this you will usually fly to one of the two points of departure, Luxor or Aswan. Once here, you will begin your Nile cruise for three days to a whole week! Nile cruise holidays will include several guided shore excursions to several well-known attractions.
All in all, Egypt tourism packages are among the best package travel options in the world, combining mystery, wonder and excitement into one convenient amazing sightseeing package.
