Cairo and Giza alone are almost inexhaustible sources of inspiration. Because they are home to the most interesting and largest museums in the country (eg the Egyptian Museum or the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization ), but most of all the pyramids, the Sphinx and smaller tombs. Be sure to visit Luxor too. Ancient Thebes is primarily the Karnak Temple Complex and the amazing Valley of the Kings and Queens. Alexandria with the famous Library of Alexandria is also noteworthy.
