Egypt Vacation Packages -By Egyptraveluxe


Egypt vacation packages can combine flights, accommodation, and dining, often saving money and helping to make your dream trip a reality. The options for Egypt travel deals include package tours, cruises, or stays at all-inclusive beach resorts. These choices can infuse a sense of value into your trip and help you personalize your itinerary as well. There are holiday packages to Egypt available for couples or families, and some are specifically designed for weddings or honeymoons. The year-round, dependable, pleasant weather encourages many couples to consider Egypt as an option for a destination wedding, and it is also much more affordable than similar locations in Europe.
Travel deals to Egypt are sure to be available in August, when daily temperatures reach over 100 degrees. If this extreme temperature doesn’t bother you, or you plan on spending most of your time in the sea snorkeling or scuba diving, then you may be able to find an excellent deal. Beach resorts along the Red Sea Riviera are known for their all-inclusive nature. A great option for families, all-inclusive resorts combine all possible fees into one rate per person or per family. When accommodation, food, drinks, activities, and equipment rentals are considered, it's easy to budget for your vacation ahead of time and can even result in dramatic savings for families.
Many Egypt vacation packages are designed around exposing travelers to the relics of ancient Egypt. Many international flights will arrive in the capital city of Cairo, and from there, it is easy to travel to see the great pyramids at Giza. When enquiring with a tour company, let them know about your interests. Some Egypt travel deals may be centered around visits to temples and tombs such as those in the Valley of the Queens, while others may offer great value on scuba diving and water sports. Holiday packages to Egypt rarely include both activities, though many independent travelers manage to see both during the same trip. Transportation and especially domestic flights with Egypt Air can make this happen affordably.
One benefit of Egypt vacation packages is the availability of guides. The streets and markets of Cairo can be confusing and mazelike, and a guide can help you to make the best of your time in the city. Some budget Egypt travel deals won’t include a guide at all and just stick to the basics of accommodation and transportation, but it is still possible to hire a local guide if you would like the insider’s track on certain attractions, such as where to find the highest-quality, lowest-priced goods in the famous Khan el Khalili market.
When researching holiday packages to Egypt, be sure to secure all the details before booking. Some tours or packages leave out important elements such as transport or accommodation for all nights of your trip. This could leave you making certain arrangements on your own, which isn’t a problem as long as you are aware of this ahead of time. Some packages also include a ride on a camel, a wildlife safari, or cruise down the Nile River. No matter what has stirred your interest in Egypt, there is a way to see this country affordably.

The bindweeds of Egypt and their symbolic role for the deceased

http://www.egyptraveluxe.com/cairo_half_day_tour_to_cairo_egyptian_museum.php From the Middle Kingdom until the 18th Dynasty, representations are found of a parasitic bindweed associated with the stems of papyrus, . Its representations increase and refine themselves during the Amarnian period because of the naturalistic leaning to nature; but it is in Ramesside times, and more particularly that of Ramesses II, that the images become more beautiful and most detailed. The plant is frequently attached to the stem of the papyrus, or to bouquets, but being also able to, more rarely, exist separately. After the 20th Dynasty, if the theme persists, the quality of the representations decrease (as do all more representations of nature). This success under the Ramesseses is probably linked with the specific beliefs of that time, and notably the eminent place that the solar cults occupy. The nature of the plant has been under debate a long time ...

what exactly happened to the Sphinx's nose?

The Sphinx's Nose The nose of the Great Sphinx at Giza is made conspicuous by its absence. What happened to it? The popular story is that the troops of Napoleon Bonaparte used the nose for target practice in 1798. Drawings done for La Description de L'Egypte depict a noseless Sphinx. The Sphinx, 1743. In 1737, British traveler Richard Pococke visited Egypt and made a sketch of the Sphinx that was published six years later. The nose is shown intact, but Pococke likely exercised his poetic license by adding it when it was not there (earlier, in 1579, Johannes Helferich had further taken an artist's liberties by depicting the Sphinx with a nose -- and with decidedly female features). Frederick Lewis Norden, an artist and marine architect, also sketched the Sphinx in 1737. His detailed drawings, published in 1755, were more realistic and showed the Sphinx with no nose. It is very unlikely that Norden would omit the nose if it was present. We can conclude that the...
