  • The Nile River - the longest river in Africa and a lifeline to Egypt, creating fertile land to harvest.
  • Abu Simbel Temples - two enormous rock temples carved into the side of the cliff in the village of Abu Simbel.
  • Egyptian Museum - a vast edifice displaying 120,000 Egyptian antiquities and a Tutankhamen exhibit.

Tips

  • Remove your shoes before entering a mosque and cover your head and shoulders.

  • During the festival of Ramadan, the fasting month, do not eat or drink in public.
  • Do not touch someone from the opposite sex when you are in a public place.
  • Learn a few Arabic words so you can speak to the locals when exploring the country.
