Egypt or officially 'The Arab Republic of Egypt' being one of the oldest civilizations in the world is undoubtedly a top destination that you must visit once in a lifetime.

Your holiday to Egypt is full of attractions, things to do that are nothing short of breathtaking. With many great places to visit in Egypt - Cairo, Luxor, and Aswan are an absolute must. My recommendation would be to travel onboard a Nile Cruise between Aswan and Luxor beside Cairo and Giza.
