Ancient wonders - Egypt

Egypt is  a country rich in ancient history and archaeological wonders. This heritage is still evident in peoples lives today as the pyramids still stand firm and tall in the Egyptian desert. At certain time of the year you are able to take a quick look inside some pyramids, if what was kept inside is of interest to you then the Egyptian museum is a must see. You are not allowed to take photos inside so you must see it for yourself! It has one entire level dedicated to King Tutankhamen, since his belongings was some of the few things that was not stolen from the pyramids.

The bazaar markets are perfect for haggling and catching that bargain price. There are plenty of souvenirs there and is an experience just being in that environment.

Another adventure for the hiker is Mount Sinai. It is has biblical significance but is also surrounded by a unique mountain range. You can start the hike at 1am to see the sunrise. Another option is to take a camel on the way up, perfect if you are not an early riser and would prefer to sit back and enjoy the view of the bright stars.

The Red Sea is also on the border of Egypt, a nice place to relax for a while and cool of from the heat.
