When you visit Egypt, there are so many sites that you will want to visit, the length of your trip will never seem long enough! I often meet people, on my tours, that have been to Egypt more than 15 times, and they keep returning to see something new! They ask about this newly discovered site, or some new tomb that has been recently uncovered, or even places that they have heard other people talk about! Here in Egypt, you will always find new sites to visit and enjoy.
