What to do in Egypt

When I was in Egypt, I noticed that there were plenty of things to do, such as visit historical sites like the pyramids of Giza, which represents the roots (olive tree) of Egypt.  The pyramids represent something unique and interesting about the country, which is why they are so well known around the world.  Visiting the pyramids in Giza falls first on my list when talking about my favorite things to do in Egypt.

My list of things to do in both Cairo and the country as a whole includes:
1. Visit the pyramids of Giza
2. Visit the Luxor Museum to better understand the history of Egypt
3. Take a river cruise down the Nile

4. Visit Corniche Beach
5. Visit Elephantile Island, in the middle of the Nile River (as seen below)


By far, the thing I would most recommend doing during your trip to Egypt is to visit the pyramids.  Here is a short video which describes many things you might not have known about these pyramids.
