Egypt is one of those destinations that carries the full weight of human history on its shoulders and holds it effortlessly. The Pyramids of Giza have stood for over four thousand years, and standing before them in person produces a feeling that no photograph or documentary fully prepares you for. Egypt is a country where ancient civilisation is not a museum exhibit, but the living backdrop to everyday life, and that quality makes it unlike anywhere else on Earth.
Cairo is the natural starting point; the Egyptian Museum alone could occupy two full days, and that is before you reach Giza. Luxor in Upper Egypt is extraordinary: the Valley of the Kings, the temples of Karnak and Luxor, the Colossi of Memnon, concentrated along a stretch of the Nile that represents one of the densest collections of ancient monuments in the world. Egypt tour packages are designed to bring all of this together in a single, deeply satisfying trip.
