Cairo, Upper Egypt and Western Desert Unlock The World's Wonders

Of course, Egypt is famous for its ancient artefacts and long history, but that's not all it has to offer. Among the oldest and most intriguing civilizations in the world, Ancient Egypt is truly remarkable. Not only do the Great Pyramids of Giza—the sole remaining ancient wonder—but also the ancient Egyptian sculptures and tombs that surround them continue to fascinate world-renowned archaeologists. Still today, artefacts from the ancient Egyptian civilisation are being unearthed by archaeologists. With an approximate length of 6,695 kilometres (4,160 miles), it flows into the Mediterranean. The private small-group Egypt tour offered by Culture Trip visits two of the country's most famous cities, Luxor and Aswan.
