How about a trip to Egypt North Coast

The northern inland region of Egypt is dominated by 3 things: The nations capital, Cairo, the vast River Nile and the only remaining wonder of the 7 original wonders of the ancient world, the pyramids at Giza. Cairo is not a city you visit if you want a chilled out, relaxed and easy-going vacation, it is a huge, bustling, busy capital, thronging with people and traffic from dawn till dusk and beyond. This doesn’t mean it’s not well worth a visit though as part of a wider trip to Egypt and the middle east, with, like the rest of Egypt, a long and detailed history, ell-preserved ancient settlements, old ruins and if you like a minaret.. you really do need a visit here! Increasingly close to Cairo (which is expanding rapidly), are the astonishing pyramids at Giza. Little needs to be written about these and while the pictures make them look impressive, they simply don’t do the scale of these huge and complex structures justice. If you do want a bit of peace and quiet, you will need to remove yourself from Cairo and Giza though, and either head out into the desert on an excursion, or take one of the many trips up (or down) the Nile
