Egypt is arguably the most famous tourist destination on Earth. The main geographical features of Egypt is the Nile River and its accompanying fertile and well watered valley, the rest of it can be best described as being a typical desert environment.
Since it is one of the most favored tourist destinations in the world there are plenty of Egypt hotels in this region. These range from the cheap Egypt hotels to the more luxurious Egypt hotels.
Egypt is best known for its magnificent pyramids and temples. However there are plenty of other attributes of the Egyptian civilization that tourists are extremely fond of – the museums, mummies etc.
Then again on the lesser known side is the wide array of ancient churches, mosques and monasteries; these are mainly due to the medieval history of Egypt where there was plenty of Islamic and Christian influences.
To visit these places remember to do your Egypt hotels booking early, as vacancies are not frequent.
The biggest city is the capital city of Cairo. It is home to the famous Giza pyramids and the fabulous Islamic architecture. Alexandria is another major city and is considered to be Egypt’s window to the Mediterranean.
Aswan and Luxor are the two other major cities. Luxor is world renown for its fabulous sites like the Valley of Kings. Among the smaller towns – Hurgada and Dahab are famous for their resorts and Scuba diving activities.
