Unlike the Pyramids, the Sphinx is carved from the bedrock of the Giza plateau and only a tour of this monumental sculpture will help you appreciate the ancient world of Cairo, Egypt.

A short guide about Backpacking travel to Egypt

Egypt, mythical, magical, monumental. Egypt will capture your attention and hold you spellbound, and its been doing it for thousands of years.

In the 5th century BC Herodotus wrote 'nowhere are there so many marvellous things ... of unspeakable greatness' - from tradition to modernity Egypt is a country that has created a present that is as fascinating as its' past.

The Sphinx, the Nile, ancient Luxor, the pyramids - Egypt's scope is glorious. And not just the Pharaonic monuments - it's the legacy of the Greeks, Romans, the early Christians and the profusion of art and architecture accumulated from centuries of successive Islamic dynasties.

Most people who think of Egypt think of antiquities. Yet Egypt also offers nature and desert treks, great scuba diving and even golf, fishing and birding expeditions. One may choose to relax on the wondrous Red Sea or Sinai coasts, take in the high culture of Cairo, or even leisurely float down the Nile on a luxurious felucca or river boat.

So have a browse of the tours and holidays on offer from the worlds best suppliers.
