Egypt Tour Itineraries

This place in Thebes was very important because it was connected to a god named Amun. There were lots of buildings here, like temples and places to keep things. People also worked and lived here, including important priests and leaders. It was the most important place for buying and selling things in Thebes for a long time.

Because knowing what not to do is just as important as knowing what to do in a particular area, here is the first thing to avoid when visiting Egypt: disrespecting the country's traditions. Egyptians are regarded for being very kind and receptive to travelers, yet they are also extremely conservative and traditional. Tourists should avoid immodest clothes, public displays of affection, and public drinking.

Salting the host's meal, photographing public infrastructure without permission, and flying drones should all be avoided.

You can go inside this place, but it's steep and long. No one else was there when we went. There are some tombs near it, and someone said we could go into one of them through a secret entrance. But it was too hard for us because we had to crawl through small, tight spaces, so we decided not to do it.

Yes, Egypt tour schedules usually include opportunities to try local cuisine. Visits to traditional restaurants or the organization of special meals serving local food are included.
