First Let’s Visit the Great Pyramids in Giza, Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerions. These pyramids are still looked upon with astonishment and admiration despite
passing over 7,000 years since the kings of the pharaohs had built their immortal pyramids.
The pyramids remain engraved in the memory of human civilization as a marvel and proof of how the pharos was ahead of their times and how their secrets are not revealed despite the tremendous scientific development.

the pharaohs’ spirits. The second day could be dedicated to museums like visiting The Egyptian Museum.

which agricultural caravans came. After that, you could fly to Aswan as it possesses a large number of the great
monuments of Egypt which differs from other monuments of the world, as it is not kind of remains of palaces, buildings, or temples, but rather an integrated civilization that retains its beauty, splendor and great value.
You could visit The High Dam which is one of the most important tourist attractions in Aswan Governorate, as it is a great building characterized by its magnitude and distinctive design. Its importance is due to its role in saving and
protecting Egypt from the Nile flood every year. After that, you could stop by The Abu Simbel Temple which is located behind Lake Nasser. This temple was built by King Ramses II in 1244 BC. The temple is topped
with 4 colossal statues of King Ramses II, and at its feet are small statues of King
Ramses II’s sons, his wife, and his mother. It is known that this temple witnesses two very important events every year, which demonstrate the ingenuity and genius of the ancient Egyptians, which attract the
world tourists to watch the sun perpendicular to the face of the king on his birthday and the day he was crowned on the throne of Egypt. It was built to a high level and high precision, and this highlights the greatness and
skill of the ancient Egyptians in the art of architecture and construction. It was built
with a design that withstands earthquakes, even if its strength reaches 10 Richter, it does not collapse.
