Egypt - Safaga (Hurghada)

Nestled along the Egyptian east coast, hugging the Red Sea's azure waters, lies the port city of Safaga. While renowned among diving enthusiasts for its alluring underwater landscapes, Safaga isn't typically sought out as a standalone tourist destination. Instead, the nearby city of Luxor takes the spotlight—an ancient gem situated along the Nile's banks, adorned with captivating remnants of ancient Egyptian civilization.

Worth seeing
Luxor's Majesty: Venture on a journey to the captivating city of Luxor, often dubbed "the world's largest outdoor museum." Luxor's allure lies not only in its bustling Egyptian markets but also in the expanse of its ruins and temples. A visit to Luxor feels like stepping back in time, with its tangible connection to Egypt's storied past.

Valley of the Kings: Among Luxor's treasures lies the renowned "Valley of the Kings," a burial ground immortalized by its association with the pharaoh Tutankhamun. Here, you can explore the final resting places of ancient Egyptian royalty, including the nearly intact tomb of Tutankhamun himself.

Safaga, though a gateway to the mesmerizing Red Sea marine life, pales in comparison to the allure of Luxor's historical riches. Luxor, an enchanting tapestry of ancient wonders and modern-day discovery, beckons travelers to unravel its secrets, walk in the footsteps of pharaohs, and witness the awe-inspiring remnants of a civilization that continues to captivate the world.
