Illustrative images. The pictures in this guide are illustrations based on the real place, not photographs, and may differ from it.
A destination is a region you visit as a single trip: it can bring together several cities or be a large city with everything it offers. Each destination has the tours, the itineraries, the best time to go month by month and how to get there.
The guide currently has 11 destinations, with 18 cities in 10 provinces.
Today's highlights
A destination is more than a city: it's everything you can experience there.
Ancient Thebes on the Nile: the temples of Karnak and Luxor on the east bank and, on the west bank, the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Hatshepsut, Medinet Habu and the Colossi of Memnon.
The oasis of Siwa, with the old town of Shali, the Oracle of Amun, Cleopatra’s Spring and the tombs of Gebel al‑Mawta, and the clear-water beaches of Marsa Matruh on the Mediterranean.
The Nile among granite islands and dunes: the Temple of Philae, Nubian villages, the High Dam and, on the shore of Lake Nasser, the temples of Ramses II and Nefertari at Abu Simbel.
The southern tip of the Sinai, between the gulfs of Suez and Aqaba: Ras Mohammed National Park, Naama Bay, the reefs of the Strait of Tiran, and the Nabq protected area.
Red Sea beaches and coral reefs: Giftun Islands National Park, the old center of El Dahar, and the lagoons of El Gouna, with diving, snorkeling and kitesurfing.
The southern coast of the Red Sea, with coral reefs along the beaches, Abu Dabbab Bay, the Elphinstone reef and Wadi el-Gemal National Park, with mangroves and islands.
The Bahariya and Bawiti oasis, the Black Desert and the limestone formations of the White Desert, near Farafra, with Crystal Mountain and a night camping in the desert.
Dahab, on the coast of the Gulf of Aqaba, with the Blue Hole and reefs next to the beach, and Saint Catherine, in the mountains of Sinai, with the monastery and Mount Sinai.
The capital of Egypt and the pyramid plateau: Islamic Cairo, the Coptic quarter and the museums; and in Giza the Pyramids, the Sphinx, the Grand Egyptian Museum, Saqqara and Dahshur.
