%fcThe Pyramids... and other Middle East Things to Do Tips

Giza Pyramids In Egypt !

EGYPT :
When mentioning about The Middle East, we will think about The Pyramids although the pyramids are in Egypt which is in the African continent !
That's why I am compelled to put Egypt as The Middle East ! Right, The Pyramids of Giza, so much has been written about that we should or must see them with our own eyes !
There are 3 pyramids at least in The Giza Plateau; See them in awe as these are the only The Wonder Of The Ancient World !

'Feel' The Nile !

EGYPT :
Seeing The Nile when in Egypt is almost not enough, we MUST take a felluca ride on The Nile. Feel the water which has given a good civilization to the world now !
The Nile has that magical wonder, that alluring grandeur; Watching the sunset from the bank of The Nile would be a grand highlight indeed in the travel to The Middle East !
Whether you experience this in Cairo or Aswan or Luxor, it doesn't matter; All these places, even some small places along The Nile would offer you an ambience in itself !

Cairo On The Nile !

EGYPT :
Cairo is that busy city in The Middle East where the old & the new could be seen side by side.
It is so spread-out that you could spend days or months or years to know what the city is all about.
Noise & pollution fill up this city but of course we don't come here to know that !
The Nile flows through Cairo & this will definitely temp you to discover The Nile's hidden 'gems' along its shore !

Theban Necropolis in Egypt !

EGYPT :
You have to make Luxor as your base to see The Theban Necropolis.
While Luxor town is on the eastern bank of The Nile, Theban is on the western bank.
This vast area merits 1 whole day, if not a few days.
Sacred tombs & temples...not to mention the heat & the tourists, plus the hassling locals; Make this area such an attraction to visit Egypt in the first place !
After crossing The Nile by boat or felluca, The Colossi of Memnon would welcome you along the way.
Discover the biggest ancient civilization of this world !

Temples Of Abu Simbel, Egypt...

EGYPT :
Many people would come to Temple Of Abu Simbel from Aswan but flying is also possible directly from the capital, Cairo.
The archaeological complex of Abu Simbel comprises two massive rock temples in southern Egypt, built on the western bank of The Nile, which are :The Sun Temple Of Ramses II
&
The Hathor Temple Of Queen Nefertari
These 2 temples are NOT in their original locations somehow as they were relocated to men-made mountain which is 65 m high & 200 m back from the riverbank; All at the expense of 36 Million Dollars between 1964 to 1968.
That was a big feat in itself !

Petra, Jordan...

JORDAN :
Now, walking along The Siq would be an adventure in itself ! If not for many other tourists who would be following behind you or you following behind them, Petra would only exist in an adventure's dream place !
Petra is just amazing ! No doubt about it...
The temples are seen just as they were like thousand of years ago.
The Bedouins will offer you their hospitality or their hassling skills.
The hiking trails, easy or otherwise would make your visit here extra special !
Petra is certainly a MUST visit while in The Middle east !
