My lifelong dream was visiting Egypt. Once, such travel was considered a pilgrimage to the sources of wisdom. Egypt is not just a country like, for example, the whole world is. It boasts of an incredibly rich civilization, artistic heritage which we can see today. This is without doubt one of the reasons for my traveling there. Tourists from all over the world come to admire the pyramids, Valley of the Kings and the Nile. Every place, every monument in Egypt deserves special attention. I ordered tickets and a hotel online. My husband and son decided to join me in this trip. I used Travelocity Coupon Code and ordered three tickets to Egypt and rented a car to travel over the country. Our road ran from north to south, from Tanis to Abu Simbel by three of the most visited tourist areas: Giza and Saqqara, which lie at the base of the delta, Luxor, which stands on the site of ancient Thebes and Aswan, located in the extreme south, near the first Nile thresholds. Alexandria attracted fans of Hellenistic art mainly. Sinai and Western Desert oases of great interest to experienced travelers who love Egypt. We were going to visit the Serabit el-Khadim - a sacred place of the goddess Hathor in the center of the area where turquoise was mined. Then I would like to visit the magnificent temple of Amun, with an exceptionally rich in symbolism. I was advised to read about Egypt in the books to my husband and son. So they will have at least an initial understanding of the country, in which they are sent to travel. Thus, they learned that Egypt is bordered by Israel, the Palestinian Authority (Gaza Strip), Sudan and Libya. Egypt's territory is washed by the Mediterranean Sea in the north and to the east - the Red Sea. Both seas are linked by man-made Suez Canal. Egypt is a republic. The head of state is the president, who is also chief of the armed forces. Egypt lies within the subtropical (northern part) and tropical (most of) climatic zones, dominated by a tropical desert climate. Egypt is part of the Sahara desert. Summer is very hot. The thermometer may be places in the shade close to the 50-degree mark, but always much cooler at night, diurnal temperature variations are very large. Going to travel to this country, everyone should be prepared for such weather. The Nile River - one of the largest rivers in the world (6671 km). This great river and it became the cradle of civilization in the region. We have to visit this great river too.
