Egypt Vacations Combing Modern And Ancient In Harmony

By Amanda Chalmers


Egypt vacations is beckoning one to take a trip to Cairo, the largest city in Africa and the gateway to this exciting land where Pharaohs lived. This exhilarating, frantically busy multi-cultural city's architecture, culture and style of living has been shaped by the many different conquerors that have ruled there through the ages.

Egypt vacations are a trip into the past where one has the opportunity of looking at some of the ancient world's wonders and sun bathing on pristine beaches lapped by crystal clear seas all in one day. The Red Sea is awash with coral and exquisite underwater life will make a scuba diving holiday a memorable one.

To really get the feel of the country one needs to take a cruise down the "life blood" of Egypt, the river Nile. Watching historical site, fertile valleys and amazing edifices created by nature and man glide by is a wonderful way to experience Egypt. One has the choice of taking a luxury liner or one of a more traditional river boat.

A fascinating mix of old and new with buildings erected by previous rulers standing alongside new modern structures there is much to see. Markets that have been there for centuries, filled with splendid handmade goods, beautiful metal work and mouthwatering food. Do not forget that have the fun of buying is the bargaining!

If getting back to nature is one's thing a trip to Fayoum to see the oasis and spectacular lakes and waterfalls will more than satisfy one. To get around and see as much as possible it is recommended that one joins a guided tour at sometime during one's visit.

Camel riding may not be every ones idea of ideal transportation, but it come highly recommended as a must when taking Egypt vacations. There is much to peruse and experience why not book today for that dream holiday.
