Top 3 Egypt holidays sights:
The Pyramids of Giza
Egypt starts with the pyramids. The Egypt Giza Pyramids were originally built as tombs for the kings of Egypt, sometimes the queens. The idea behind the pyramids construction was the desire for eternal life. These famous monuments were not in isolation but they were constructed as a part of the funerary tombs which include temples and shrines.
Imhotep is the famous architect that built and designed the first pyramid in Egypt . The pyramids can still be viewed today in our Egypt holidays. They are known as the Step Pyramids, the initial monument in Egypt to be made entirely out of pure stone.
Valley of the Egypt Kings
In the New Kingdom Ramsees XI was the last king and he is also the last king that have built any tomb in the Valley of the Egypt Kings.
What other secrets lay in wait for you here? Are there kings buried in the valley? Are the royal families buried there, as their final resting place before moving onto to eternity?
There are two main branches of the Valley of the Egypt Kings. There is the East Valley where most of the tombs are located. There is also the West Valley and here you will find only a few tombs and some pits.
Abu Simbel Temple in Egypt
As the story goes, back in 1813 a man named J. L. Burkhardt stumbled upon an amazing site and brought it to the attention of many Europeans. He came across the facade of two temples built to as a dedication to Ramesses II, and the other to his wife, queen Nefertari of Egypt.
With these being such incredible finds, it led to many Victorian travelers to make the trek up the Nile and that at times they would get there to find the temples completely covered in sand. You can still see these amazing temples as they were hundreds of years ago, but not where they were built originally. What do I mean by that?
As you can see there are tourist attractions in Egypt holidays for any visitor to Egypt, but there are only three that you absolutely must see in you holidays to Egypt order for your trip to be considered complete tour.
