ABSTRACT
Any visit to ‘Ancient Egypt’ must include the Pyramids; the Egyptian Museum in Cairo with the treasures of Tuthankhamun; a visit to Luxor with its the Valley of the Kings and the Karnak temples; Aswan and the temples of Philae; and, if possible, an excursion to Abu Simbel in the far south. The independent traveller can visit countless other interesting historical sites in this country, which was home to one of the oldest cultures in the world, spanning 3000 years of continuous history.
