Well First Of all , i'm Mohamed Mashaal , i'm an Egyptian citizen , i 'm 19 years old and i live in Alexandria which is like the second capital here in Egypt it lies in the the Mediterranean sea and one of the historical and beautiful place in the world just like Egypt is .

Let's get going with our Tour .

Tourists Always in movies and in real life start with The Pyramids (The Pyramid of Menkaure ,The Pyramid of Khafre and The Pyramid of Khufu) no matter what happens as it's one of the world's seven wonders .

Historical Tip : Those Pyramids were built  2589-2504 BC and till now no one knows how they were built and there isn't any proof on how this was done .

In the same place Tourists visit the sphinx or what we call in arabic (أبو الهول) which is one of the things Egypt is known for .

It's a Great statue with the body of lion and a head of human ( kinda a symbol for power and wisdom )

Historical Tip : It was built  2558–2532 BC by  the Pharaoh Khafre , the one who built the Pyramid of khafre .

Right after they enjoy those both two great monuments , they go to Khan El  Khalili (a place near El hussein mosque , it like a great bazaar )  to take some souvenirs .

It's like a tradition for Tourists . :D

then i great cup of the traditional Egyptian tea over there would make you fill great (it's like the official drink here in Egypt , Some People even drink tea more than they drink water ^_^ )

The next day they could pay a visit to Egypt Museum , A place a liked myself , where you can see a lot of ancient monuments , gold treasures and of course the mummies ( no one knows how they kept their bodies till now ) 

Then may be a visit to Salah El Din Citadel would be great .

There is still a lot to visit in Cairo and Giza . But That's enough there . 

Now let's take a cruise in The Nile .

Luxor and Aswan are our next destination . Luxor its self has 1/3 of the world's monuments , A great Place lies on the shores of The Nile at the south of Egypt .

There you could visit Luxor Temple ,  Karnak Temple , The Valley Of Kings , The Valley Of Queens , and a lot more i myself haven't visited yet  :D 

Aswan Too Is great Place To visit , Luxor and Aswan are like twins , You have to visit them both .

There you could visit Abu Simbel Temple ,  Philae ,   Elephantine and much more .

Well if i kept , placing photos and talking about those place not a dizillion post would be enough

As we haven't mentioned Sharm El Sheikh , Saint Catherine , Siwa Oasis and much more .

I Haven't even mentioned my home city Alexandria . 

Pay a Visit to Egypt and Check those Awesome places .

Thank you for inviting me for such and interesting tour and showing all the places through your beautiful photos. I enjoyed learning more about your country.

My Pleasure , i would be delighted if you really visit my country and there is much more to see that i didn't write about :D

@mohamedmashaal - Please do it and share more photos and interesting details. Not all of us can afford to travel, so sharing images and information about your country can take us on journeys that we otherwise never would have been able to afford. A quote that I read a long time ago, comes to mind: "Go on a journey, read a book" - these days we don't have to read books, we can just follow people who are actually living in specific countries and sharing their photos online. So, yes please, share more!

You have a beautiful Country....You have me sold to make this apart of my bucket list. Thanks
