Egypt
The land of pharaohs and pyramids, Egypt is a heaven for history and archeology buffs. Some of the most popular historical places in Egypt--its ancient tombs, temples, and cities--are located along the Nile River Valley, one of the world's most popular tourist attractions. The town of Luxor is home to Temple of Karnak, one of the largest religious sites ever built, and Valley of the Kings, one of the world's most significant archaeological sites. The city of Giza boasts a plethora of ancient tombs but remains best known for its pyramid complex and the imposing Great Sphinx, iconic symbols of ancient Egypt.
