Egypt is Africa's most popular tourist destination and that's not really surprising given what it has to offer. The Pyramids of Giza are perhaps the biggest draw, the last of the Ancient Seven Wonders of the World. The great temples of Karnak, Abu Simbel and Luxor built for Pharaoh’s thousands of years ago are equally impressive. You can visit many of these marvelous temples and monuments by sailing down the Nile on a traditional sailboat called a felucca.

But Egypt also has the desert and its oases including the remote and stunning Siwa Oasis near the border with Libya. If you get tired of the desert sands or the heat of Thebes then there's always the Red Sea. Hurghada is the best destination on the Red Sea coast especially if you enjoy snorkeling and diving. If these sights appeal to you have a look at some photos and find out more about Egypt's top travel destinations.
