Egypt

Philae Temple, Aswan, Egypt

The writing on the wall

At Philae Temple, you’ll find a site that was caught in the middle of the rise and fall of three great empires.

Best things to do in Aswan, Egypt

Aswan: On the edge of Egypt

The Egyptian city of Aswan offers a nice respite from the chaos of Cairo. It also has some fascinating historical sites, meaning there are plenty of things to do in Aswan.

Karnak Temple, Luxor, Egypt

This temple is an open book of Ancient Egypt

Karnak Temple at Luxor is a highlight of a visit to Egypt. One of the largest religious complexes in the world, it took 2000 years to build!

Best tombs in the Valley of the Kings, Egypt

The Valley of the Kings

Go deep inside Egypt’s Valley of the Kings to see the Ancient World’s greatest burial tombs. It’s amazing how well preserved they are.

Temples at Abu Simbel, Egypt

How the temples at Abu Simbel were saved… again

The Abu Simbel temples are one of the highlights of Egypt – for both the incredible Temple of Ramses II and the story of Abu Simbel’s relocation.

El Gouna, Egypt

A little slice of Egyptian paradise

I’m not normally a huge fan of resort-style holidays but this Red Sea development in Egypt is quite unique. It’s an entire town built by just one company!

Egyptian Museum, Cairo, Egypt

Finding Tutankhamun in Cairo

The Egyptian Museum in Cairo has more than 150,000 items in its collection. So how should you approach a visit to this incredible institution?

Step Pyramid of Djoser, Saqqara, Egypt

The Birthplace of Ancient Egypt

The Step Pyramid at Saqqara, not far from Cairo, is possibly the most important pyramid in Egypt. I think a visit to Saqqara is not to be missed!

Whale Valley, Wad Al-Hitan, Egypt

When whales walked the earth!

Whale Valley in the Egypt holds one of the greatest discoveries in the story of evolution – proof that whales once walked from land into the oceans.
