Description

overview

Exploring the Christian holy city in Egypt over 21 days sounds fascinating! The ruins with a church, baptistery, basilicas, and more provide a rich historical experience. The connection to Menas of Alexandria adds a layer of significance to the journey. Enjoy your sightseeing adventure!

Indeed, Thebes, with its temples and palaces at Karnak and Luxor, served as the former capital of Egypt. The necropolises at the Valley of the Kings and the Valley of the Queens contribute to preserving the legacy of the Egyptian civilization at its peak.

you're describing two fascinating historical sites in Egypt. The first one with the world's oldest Islamic cities in Cairo, rich with mosques, madrasah, hammams, and fountains. The second one seems to be the capital of the Old Kingdom of Egypt with impressive funerary monuments, rock tombs, mastabas, temples, and pyramids, once part of the Seven Wonders of the World. Both offer a glimpse into Egypt's rich history and cultural heritage.

 Exploring the Temple of Ramesses II at Abu Simbel and the Sanctuary of Isis at Philae during the 21 Days All Egypt Sightseeing tour offers a fascinating glimpse into Egypt's rich history, and it's impressive how combined efforts saved these monuments from being submerged by Lake Nasser due to the Aswan Dam construction.

That's fascinating! The Saint Catherine Monastery's historical significance and the convergence of religious importance in the region make it a unique place. Additionally, Wadi Al-Hitan's fossilized remains provide valuable insights into the evolutionary journey of whales. Nature and history intertwined in two remarkable locations.
