One historian said that Egypt is the gift of the Nile and the Egyptians. The Nile played a major role in establishing the lives of the ancient Egyptians because it enabled them to grow crops and transport goods and expanded their trade to help establish a strong economy. Therefore, the Nile River is one of the most important reasons for the formation of Egyptian civilisation.
The Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, Egypt's National Museum, and the Valley of Kings All of these sites are in Cairo, but if you want to see more, I recommend flying to Luxor and Aswan to visit Karnak Temple, Luxor Temple, Hatshepsut's Temple (Deir el-Bahari), and others.
The Philae Temple Complex is a beautiful ancient Egyptian building on an island in the Nile River. It was made for a goddess named Isis, who was very important to the Egyptians.
