Best Places To Visit In Egypt

Egypt has cast a spell over the world for centuries, shaping everything from literature and architecture to burial practices — sometimes in bizarre ways. In medieval times, ground-up mummy powder was thought to have healing properties, sparking a trade in desiccated remains. By the 16th century, fascination with mummies had reached such heights that Egypt became a hotspot for collectors, eager to get their hands on scarabs, amulets, and even fakes.

By the 18th century, vivid sketches and travelogues fueled a new wave of obsession, drawing explorers and treasure hunters in search of the "primitive." Today, Egypt’s allure is just as strong, though thankfully, you can explore its wonders without disturbing any tombs. From the iconic pyramids to the hidden gems of the Nile Valley, the best places to visit in Egypt reveal a land of mystery, history, and endless discovery.
