Pharaohs, nobles and, well, kings were buried. This valley has so much history
on offer, from the lives of those that were buried, to those that robbed the
tombs of all their riches.
Royal Jewellry Museum
- Alexandria
Probably not on everyone's list of top Egypt attractions but for those
jewelry lovers out there, this is one not to be missed. The Egyptian's were
known for being ornate so this is costume jewelry to be lusted after.
Alexandria National Museum
- Alexandria
The Alexandria National Museum
is the first of its kind in Egypt
in the way it narrates the history of the area rather than being a building
storing artifacts (which was actually what other museums were designed for). A
restored palace, some may even find the building more interesting than what is
inside it but it does contain around 1800 artifacts, including the obligatory
mummies, so for a bit of education and culture the Alexandria National
Museum is perfect.
Egypt Attractions - Active
Mt Sinai - Sharm El Sheikh
The night time trek up to Mt Sinai to watch the sunrise is a top attracton
for visitors to Sharm El Sheikh. For those not fancying the 4 hour walk, a
friendly camel will do the work for you, although we would suggest you think
long and hard about which option is more comfortable.
Ras Mohammed Reef - Sharm El Sheikh
The offshore national park is a top attraction for any diver. One of the Red Sea's best reefs, the Ras Mohamed Reef attracts a
