Major Destinations of Egypt



The major destinations of Egypt include all the tourist attractions in the country and the places, which are important in terms of business and economy. Egypt is popular throughout the world because of its civilization that has a rich culture. The various Pharoic temples, the pyramids and the other palatial ruins are the primary attractions of the country. In this respect, there are nine cities in Egypt, which are very important because of the remains of the ancient civilization. These nine places include Cairo, Giza, Aswan, Luxor, Alexandria, Hurghada, Abu Simbel, and Sham el Sheikh.

There are four distinct geographical regions in Egypt, the Nile valley and the delta region, the Eastern desert, the Western Desert and the Sinai peninsular. Most of the Egyptians dwell in the Nile valley and delta region, but this does not mean that the other regions are not of any value. The many national parks and reserve forests are the best places to get a glimpse of the desert flora and fauna in the region.

The Sinai region in particular is very popular for the scuba diving centers. Snorkeling, scuba diving, wind surfing and kite surfing are the most coveted activities through which visitors venture out the nature in Sinai. Other major destinations of Egypt include Abusir, El Alamein, Dhasur, Giza, Meidum to name a few of them.
