Cairo:

Cairo, the Triumphant City, is wonderful capital of Egypt’s wonderful capital. It is the largest city in both the Middle East and Africa and lies at the centre of all routes leading to, and from Asia, Africa and Europe.
The city extends on the banks of the River Nile to the south of its delta.
Cairo is the administrative capital and, close by, is almost every Egypt Pyramid, such as the Great Pyramids of Giza, the Ancient Egyptian City of Memphis and Capital of the Old Kingdom, on the very edge of the city.
Cairo provides great and well organized culture, including art galleries and music halls, such as the Cairo Opera House. 
The city also provides some of the best accommodations and restaurants in the world, such as the Cairo Marriott and the Four Seasons.
Great part of the incredible and unbelievable charm of the capital of Egypt is the result of 2000 years mixture of Islamic, Christian Coptic and Jewish culture. An incredible and unique mixture that still keeps on flourishing to this day.

The Sinai

This desert region is dotted with resort towns on its red sea coast, Dahab and Sharm el Sheikh being two of the most popular for cheap holidays in Egypt. 

If you want a beach holiday included in your Egyptian vacation package, then The Sinai is a must-visit. The region boasts good beaches and good swimming. A magnificent coral reef also gives diving and snorkeling that aficionados consider second only to the barrier reef, and not a distant second at that. 

Luxor 

South of Cairo on the banks of the Nile, this quietish city holds several attractions including Nile boat trips and a tour to both the Valley of the Kings and Valley of the Queens. 

As you’d imagine this is where the bodies of ancient Kings and Queens were buried and are impressively large sites. I liked Luxor and had a peaceful hassle-free few days there.

Aswan

Aswan, in southern Egypt, stands on the east bank of the Nile. It is one of the driest inhabited areas in the world and is home to approximately 200,000 people.

One of the driest inhabitable spots of earth this is a popular destination for both overseas and homegrown tourists alike. Its attraction lies in its easygoing atmosphere, stunning setting on the banks of the Nile, palm groves, Elephantine Island and huge dam.

Aswan is a popular Egyptian winter resort; the summer months of May-October are hot with highs of 41C; the winter months of November-April are mild with temperatures dipping to 10C.

Dakhla Oasis:

Dakhla Oasis is one of the oases in the Western Desert region of Egypt. It is situated more than 100 m above sea level and numerous springs and ponds form a part of its topography.

Western Desert enjoys a fairly moderate climate with very chilly winters, while summer temperatures may rise as high as 50°C.

More than 4,000 years ago, this was a flourishing region having access to three important caravan routes linking it to various parts of Egypt. 

Dakhla is at quite a distance from the main settlements of the country and thus has remained vastly unknown till the nineteenth century. It is made up of 14 settlements with a total population of approximately 75,000 inhabitants.

Alexandria:

Alexandria is in northern Egypt and is its second largest city. Also the largest seaport in the region, it has a population of 4 million inhabitants.

A summer resort city, it enjoys temperate climate. Winters average 45F and summers are warmer at 90F.
Founded by Alexander the Great in 331 BC, the city was the capital of Greco - Roman Egypt. Today, because of its natural gas and oil pipelines from the Suez Canal, it is an important industrial centre, as well as a centre of maritime archaeology. 

A city draped in history and culture, it is Egypt’s most multi-ethnic city.
