How much will a guided tour of Egypt cost

Who has not wished to see the fantastic archeological sites and dazzling artifacts to be found in Egypt-a land perfectly laid out for archeology buffs?  Now, guided tours of Egypt and all its splendor are available for travelers from all around the world to go to and explore.  Let’s take a look at what many guided tours have to offer .  

Most guided tours of Egypt begin in Cairo, where Egypt’s biggest airfield and biggest city are waiting to welcome you.  While in Egypt, your guide may take you to the famous Egyptian Museum, where the treasures of Tutankhamen and other ancient artifacts are available for viewing.  You will take a drive to Old Cairo, the area where ancient Christians and Jews lived in the city.  Have fun shopping at the colorful Khan El Khalili Bazaar and do not forget to bargain.  

One of the most lovely sites on guided tours of Egypt is a trip to the pyramids and the great Sphinx of Giza, a five thousand~ 5,000 years old monument.  After taking as many footage as you can, visit the nearby Solar boat Museum and continue on to the ancient town of Memphis, the 1st main city of United upper and lower Egypt, and see Sakkara, the location of the Step Pyramid of Zoser.  

Longer led tours of Egypt will fly you out of the area to Sharm El Sheikh, a town on the sea with beautiful beaches, pure white sands and a chance to go diving in the Ras Mohammed Underwater Nature Reserve.  An alternative choice is a walking tour to
visit a Bedouin camp in the desert.  Other visits include the St.  Catherine monastery or night tours of Mount Sinai, where you can watch a gorgeous dawn and visit the priory located there.  

Next, some guided tours will take you on a flight to Luxor where you can take a great cruise liner for a unforgettable experience on the Nile river.  Cruise trips sometimes last 5 days and four nights.  You’ll visit the Luxor church that was originally dedicated to the God Amon-Ra.  Karnak temple is nearby as well .  Steered tours of the area will have you continue on your cruise ship and will take you to the famous Valley of the Kings and Queens, where you can see the Funerary temple of Queen Hatshepsut and countless other archeological findings.  The cruise ship will be sailing upstream and will take you up to Edfu where you can visit the Edfu temple, a famous part of Egyptian architecture.  Still on the cruise ship the following day, steered tours of the Nile will stop off at the temple of Kom Ombo, another Egyptian archeological find and to the Nilometer, an amazing site built by the pharaohs of Egypt that was built to gauge the peak of the waters of the Nile stream.  

Next, led tours along the Nile brook will show you the fantastic and famous Aswan High Dam, as well as the Philae temple and the enormous half finished obelisk in the nearby granite quarry.  At this point, your ship adventure is complete and you’ll fly back to the city of Cairo.  Steered tours of Egypt, especially if they’re complete, will show you many superb archeological sites and will teach you the history of this interesting part of the planet.  You can see lots of traditional Egyptian artifacts and you will come away with a new appreciation of how the ancient Egyptians lived and built their monuments.
