Alexandria, Egypt
Alexandria is the second largest city in Egypt. Its spirit and culture are different from culture in the other parts of the country, even though it is situated only 22k km from Cairo. The city’s features are more likely to be characterized as Mediterranean that the Eastern ones. Alexandria was founded in 332 B.C. when Egypt joint the Empire ruled by Alexander the Great. Alexander’s architect Denocrat was ordered to make the city’s plan and till nowadays, Alexandria keeps its original planning, with long main highways located parallel to seacoast and short transverse streets crossing them at right angles.

Cairo, Egypt
Cairo is the historian's haven and an architect's delight! And if you are not a historian or an architect but intrigued by all the different stories, movies and documentaries, that u you have come across about Egypt and are interested in living the experience what are you waiting for head off for a vacation to Cairo! Cairo in Arabic is actually AL QAHIRA meaning "The Triumphant", named by Al Muez one of her Babylonian rulers. The foundations for Cairo were laid by Al Muez's aid Gauwhar in the tenth century.

Nile River Valley
This was an excellent experience and overall we'd certainly recommend our Cairo based tour agent and their staff. The local guides were first rate and spoke good English, the tour covered all the points we would have wished and in particular the Lake Nasser cruise and accommodation in Luxor were fantastic. Above all the trip was one that was customised to my wife and I and we were able to set the pace we wanted to view the various monuments to suit ourselves. A side benefit of not being part of a group was that we were (once we'd figured it out) able to skip the 'factory shop' tours where you get the opportunity to purchase carpets, papyrus, jewellery, souvenirs and other stuff at 'special' prices. Others may find it of interest and again you're be able to tailor this to suit yourselves.

Pyramids, Giza
The most famous Egyptian pyramids to be built are the Great Pyramids of Giza, located in the outskirts of present-day Cairo. There are over 100 Egyptian pyramids of various sizes, and over 50 more in neighboring Sudan. However, the three Great Pyramids of Giza earn their fame by being the largest of these.
In the most popular pictures of the Pyramids of Giza, like the one shown below, the middle pyramid, that of Khafre (Chephren), appears larger due to the angle and because it was built on higher ground. The largest pyramid is actually the Great Pyramid of Khufu (Cheops), the one on the left.
