There's no other place in the world that holds more
mystery than the country of Egypt.
1) Pyramid of Giza
And perhaps there is nothing more mysterious, and more worthy of
seeing in Egypt than the esteemed Great Pyramids of Giza. These are the
pyramids of Khufu, Kafhre, and Menkaura. These perfectly shaped structures
leaves everyone in awe and in wonder about how exactly they were made,
considering that the ancient Egyptians had no advanced technology to work with.
2) Sphinx
And of course, if you're going to go to the Great Pyramids, then
you might as well go to the Sphinx. This is one of the most mysterious structures
in Egypt. Even now, archaeologists are still arguing about its origin and its
purpose, making it the subject of the famous phrase, "the Riddle of the
Sphinx."
3) Abu Simbel
These two temples were built by Pharaoh Ramesses II to
commemorate himself and his wife, Nefertari. It's a breathtaking place, and its
temples are hailed as one of the most beautiful in Egypt. What's even more
interesting about the Abu Simbel is the amount of effort put into relocating
and preserving it.
4) Cairo
4) Cairo
And of course, if you really want to immerse yourself in
Egyptian culture, it would be best for you to go to the capital city, Cairo.
The place is teeming with bazaars and restaurants where you can buy your taste
of Egyptian culture. It's surely not a place to miss.
5) Egyptian Museum
Of course, since it would be unwise to leave the Egyptian
treasures in the tombs they were found in, the archeologists put them in the
Egyptian museum where they would be put under high security. If you want to
learn about Egypt, this is the best place to start. There's no other place with
a higher concentration of Egyptian artifacts, and you can even follow the tour
so that you can be oriented with the history of each of the artifacts.
