YES, here is how you will traverse backwards in human history by several centuries-
The Pyramids of Giza
You can get thrilled by the sight of the three magnificent Pyramids of Giza, all built in the 4th Dynasty (circa 2550 BC) as tombs for Kings (and Queens), once considered as an exclusive royal privilege. Of course, there are today more than 93 Pyramids in Egypt but the most famous are still those in Giza.
Alexandria
You can have a visual treat of the city of Alexandria, better known as the mermaid of the Mediterranean and considered to be the second Capital of Egypt, built during the rule of the Greek emperor Alexander the Great by the Greek architect Dinocrates and later flourished as a prominent cultural, political and economic metropolis with monuments constituting an ample witness to a great civilization.
Alexandria along with its legendary ports and stunning beaches along the North Coast stands apart as “Pearl of the Eastern Mediterranean” with its oriental flair and deep historical, cultural and archaeological heritage.
Antiques Museum
Initially built in Boulak, later moved in1891 to Giza Palace of “Ismail Plaza” and subsequently shifted to the present building, the Musuem has 107 halls with ground floor housing huge statutes and upper floors housing small statutes, jewels, Tutankhamon treasures and mummies. Besides, the Museum has a photography section, a large library and many sections chronologically arranged.
Desert and Oasis
You can enjoy the spectacular sight of the oases, which are perhaps islands in the endless expanse of Sahara desert and where from time memorial winds sculpted the rocks of limestone in strange forms like mushrooms, cones, columns and trays, which shine at dawn with coloured brightness.
Nile Cruises
You can sail the same path like those ancient Kings and Queens aboard one of more than 300 luxury Cruises, plying along the Nile which has gifted Egypt to humanity.
Kom Ombo Temple
You can treat yourself to this amazing double temple, built between 180 and 145 BC, one side dedicated to the God Haroesis and the other side to the crocodile God Sobek, with symmetrical design and two side-by-side sanctuaries and two parallel passageways leading through the outer parts of the temple.
Mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut
Built by Queen Hatshepsut, step mother of pharaoh Thutmose III, and often referred to as male by inscriptions because of the way she was shown in the portraits, who ruled for about two decades, this Mortuary Temple is one of the most beautiful of the royal mortuary temples. It is a real treat to the eyes.
