Egypt has a huge variety of sights to explore, from the ancient Pyramids and Sphinx at Giza to the modern resorts of Sharm el Sheikh. Travellers book flights to Egypt for a host of different reasons. As the "seat of civilization" Egypt has one of the richest histories of all countries on the planet, but it is also very much alive today. The resorts on its coastlines draw those keen to do little more than lie back in the sunshine or swim in the warm seas. But the bustling cities appeal to those who want to see something of the urban African lifestyle. Cairo is seldom missed by travellers and is filled with museums, shops and bazaars; Luxor is the gateway to the Valley of the Kings and the ancient “City of Palaces;” Alexandria has monuments from Alexander the Great; and Aswan, an old trading town, is the starting point for many Nile cruises.
