May 22nd, 2011

Egypt is a wonderful country to visit as a tourist and there are a number of attractions and sites which are worth considering. Below a look at 10 attractions you might want to consider on your trip to Egypt.

1. The Great Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx – Anyone who comes to Egypt might want to make the pyramids and the Sphinx top of their list. You gain a sense of overwhelming awe when surrounded by their grandeur, their size and presence. Most tour operators run tours around the areas of both, although they cannot take you inside and anyone wishing to do so must purchase tickets for themselves.

There are many diverse regions in the country, though a majority of travelers automatically imagine the many historical sites set along the Nile River.
