One of the most mysterious and at the same time exotic places on the planet is Egypt. The cities of this wonderful country are living museums, in the vastness of which the history of the ancient people, memoirs of the Middle Ages and modern progress are located. Dry winds of endless deserts and a fresh breeze of two seas - the Mediterranean and the Red. A riot of nature and stunning African fauna. All this can be found in this wonderful country of the Sun. But since it will not be possible to visit all the settlements of this world in one tour, we suggest visiting some of the most beautiful and mysterious places that Egypt can boast of.
Cities that were founded in the pre-Christian era, as a rule, are most in demand among tourists. The main cultural center of the state is Alexandria - a port city that has retained this status since its foundation. It is here that there are a huge number of museums, among whichthere are both historically important and more modern, founded by scientists of our time. It is impossible not to pay attention to the Greco-Roman Museum, which presents more than 40 thousand artifacts belonging to the ancient era. On the shelves of this institution are ancient Roman coins and Greek souvenirs that were brought to the country from the Northern Mediterranean. But in the Museum of Royal Jewels, the memoirs of the Arab ancient world are presented to a greater extent. Also in this city, exhibitions and auctions are constantly held, where you can see paintings and sculptures, crafts and jewelry by masters of both the past and the present.
It so happened to most tourists that the map of Egypt with cities is viewed from north to south, and most travel has a similar route. Therefore, on our way appears the capital of the state - Cairo. A city in which luxury and poverty, ideally “licked” estates and polluted streets are located in an incredible way. In this Arab metropolis, which is the largest in the Middle East, there are very large traffic jams, which can be compared with those in Moscow. But despite all this, this city, which stands at the source of the legendary Nile, has its own sights. A huge number of Muslim temples, ancient mansions and palaces tells the tourist a lot about how Egypt used to be. Cities have become more modern, but also managed to retain the spirit of the past sacrament.
The ancient cities of Egypt are unimaginable withoutLuxor. This is another miracle of the North African country, which has no access to the sea, but is located on the floods of the mysterious Nile River. Previously, this village was called Thebes, and the residence of Ramesses II was located in their open spaces. Now the city is one of the main archaeological centers of the state. Excavations are being carried out in the Valley of the Kings (a cemetery where the souls of the pharaohs of the New Kingdom rest), near the ruins of the village of Deir el-Medina, as well as in temples and palaces that were left to us by the former inhabitants and their rulers who previously led Egypt.
Cities that can also be talked about a lot are Aswan, Rosetta, El Giza, as well as the endless resort provinces of the Hurghada Valley, which stretches along the Red Sea coast.
