What To Visit in Egypt

When you visit Egypt, you'll want to visit so
many sites that your trip will never seem long
enough! We often meet people during our tours who
have been to Egypt more than 15 times, and they
keep returning to see something new! They ask
about this newly discovered site, or some tomb
that has been recently uncovered, or even places
that they have heard other people talk
about! Here in Egypt, you will always find new
sites to visit and enjoy. Egyptian tourist places
are really amazing to see with exciting
sightseeing adventures at beautiful monuments.

The adventure that is Egypt never ends! That is
why it is a shame if you come to Egypt,
especially for the first time, and miss the
grandiose sites, such as the Pyramids of Giza,
Abu Simbel or the west bank of Luxor, to name but
a few. There are so many travelers who fly
directly to Upper Egypt to see Luxor and Aswan,
hoping that they will stumble across the Pyramids
as well, and then they realize that they have to
travel 720Km to Cairo, where the Pyramids are and
end up paying 400 extra to travel and see one
site, which is most probably about half of what
they paid for their entire trip!

So, dear traveler, plan well for your trip before
you come. It's the best way to save time, money
and effort, and of course to ensure that you get
to see the sites that you have been dreaming
about for some time. Try, as much as possible, to
visit as many of the places that your trip will
allow! There is nothing worse than going home and
wishing you had visited somewhere you didn't! We
both know that you don't get the opportunity to
visit Egypt every day!

Areas Rarely Seen and Safety   When traveling
through Egypt, you should avoid certain areas,
particularly sites located in the center of the
Nile Valley! About 20 years ago there were rising
tensions at these sites, Islamic fundamentalists
had targeted tourists in order to destroy the
tourist industry and the economy.  This was part
of a larger plan to bring down the government,
seize power themselves, and install the political
ideas of their own vision, a vision which no more
resembles the rules of the Quran than the
Inquisition resembled the Christianity of Christ!

Some certain incidents occurred during the '80s
and the 90s a handful of events took place
again targeting the tourist industry. Without for
a moment trying to deny the reality of these
events, the situation has been blown out of
proportion by the world's press, while the
situation in other countries with flourishing
tourist industries, is far worse, their incidents
rarely making headlines. But in Egypt, if
anything happens, it becomes front-page news! In
the mid-'90s, a widespread, and harsh, government
crackdown campaign was implemented to try to stop
any threats to tourism and visitors.

This can also be witnessed by the events of late
January/early February 2011. Following Tunisias
lead, the youth of Egypt started to protest,
peacefully, for a radical change in the country.
They were simply fed up with the government's
corruption the permanent implementation of the
emergency laws the evil manners in which the
police could arrest people (often leading to
disappearances  and/or deaths) and the high
unemployment rate, especially amongst university
graduates.

These peaceful protests were invaded by paid
thugs of the government, trying to suppress the
protests whilst allowing the government to look
good to the rest of the world, which the worlds
press took great delight in covering. Once the
protests achieved their aim, with President
Mubarak resigning his position on 11/02/2011,
life returned to normal in the country and the
media stopped reporting.

Nothing good was ever reported to the people of
the world and if too much time had passed since
something newsworthy occurred, the media would
simply show reruns of earlier events. Obviously,
this had a bad effect on Egypts tourism as
potential visitors were scared away all the time
when in reality Egypt was safe to visit. Yet in
Bahrain, where protests were dealt with a lot
more severely, the talks about reinstating a
Formula One Grand Prix were underway even when
the country was not at peace!

A trip to Egypt still entails far less danger
than a trip to anywhere else in the world. In the
realm of the violence in the mid-'90s, there were
certain areas appointed as not good for tourists.
These areas are located in the center of the Nile
Valley, particularly Minya, Asyut, and Sohag.
Unfortunately, these places happen to have some
of the most beautiful monuments in Egypt, like
the beautiful tombs at Beni Hassan in Minya, the
marvelous monasteries of Asyut and the Temple of
Abydos in Sohag, not to forget Akhenatens
ancient city of Akhetaten at El- Amarna, near
Minya. In time, all of these sites will be fully
re-opened for tourists.

If you still think that you would like to visit
these places as an individual traveler, you can!
However, be prepared for a police escort with
you, as the local police will not let you travel
alone in these areas! We suggest that the safest,
cheapest and most informative way to visit these
sites is through a reputable travel agent.
