The best way to visit the main monuments and archelogical sites of ancient Egypt is from the river Nile. Most of the tours start in Aswan, near the press, and follow up the river in those typical river boats with sundecks.
Most of the main sites are along the river, as life in Egypt uses to take place on the banks of the river, further than that is the desert...

Most of the temples are quite well preserved, with columns standing and even ceilings, so you can easily imagine how must they have been in the past, you can imagine the pharaohs and priests running around...

Review Helpfulness: 4.5 out of 5 stars
