At
first sight, the Mausoleum of the Agha Khan in Aswan may appear to you as an
austere and isolated building, on the west bank of the Nile River. Inspired by
the architecture of the Cairo Fatimids, the structure is recognizable by its
elegance and by its special use of pink granite. It was built at the request of
the begum, wife of the Aga Khan III who died in 1957.The begum who died in 2000
lived in the white villa below but closed the mausoleum to the public in 1997
to allow the deceased to rest in peace away from the bustle of the living.
Nevertheless, the spot is more than worth a visit, be it for the serenity of
the place or the amazing panoramas of the Nile and the villa below.
3.
Trekking in the White Canyon,

A
camel safari or 4x4 safari to Ain
Khudra Oasis is the perfect starting point for a trek into
the White Canyon.
The rocks of the canyon have a high lime content that creates the magnificent
pure white walls you can marvel at while pacing and hiking in the canyon. The
Canyon can be reached in less than one hour from Dahab by a 4X4.
4. Shopping
in Khan El-Khalili Bazaar

No
visit to Cairo is complete without a stop at the Khan El-Khalili Bazaar, where you will be transported back in time to an old Arab souk. Shop
owners calling you to their stalls, the scent of spices, the hustle and bustle
of trade, and the many beautiful objects that can purchased will have you lost
among alleys for hours. Put your haggling skills to the test when buying
statuettes, spices, souvenirs, silver jewellery, t-shirts, galabiyyas, belly
dancing costumes, or anything for that matter. When your shopping's done, don't
miss out on a traditional cup of tea at the famous Fishawi's cafe.
5. Picturesque
views from Pharaoh Island

After
a short ferry ride from Taba's coast, you'll reach the Island of the Pharaoh, a
small granite atoll surrounded by coral reefs and dominated by the magnificent
Saladin fortress, built by Crusaders in the 12th century and recently restored
by the Council of Egyptian Antiquities. Salah El-Din based his soldiers on this
strategic island in order to control the trade of products coming from Asia and
demand ransoms from pilgrims on their way to Mecca. A truly strategic spot:
you'll be stunned by the fortress's panoramic view, a
landscape merging between the coasts of Saudi Arabia and Jordan.
6. Visit
to the Hanging Church

Take
the steps that lead to one of the most beautiful churches in the Middle East
known as the Hanging
Church. Built on top of the Roman fortress gatehouse
called Babylon,
the nave of the Hanging Church is suspended over the passageway. Located just
south of the Coptic Museum in Cairo, the Hanging Church boasts 13 magnificent
pillars in its interior, representing Jesus and his 12 apostles. Listen in on
the ancient liturgical Coptic language used in service and witness a living
vestige of Ancient Egyptian history.
7.
Bedouin Dining By The Beach

One
of the main attractions of Dahab is the unique on-the-ground dining
experience. Many restaurants offer a Bedouin-laid back setting of large
colorful cushions and low tables placed close to the beach. Most of these
restaurants have also fish stalls where you'll be asked to choose your fish and
have it prepared the way you like it. The food is exquisite and quite cheap.
After finishing your meal, you can just lean back on the cushions and rest for
as long as you wish. Thinking of how much a shisha would fit into the whole
setting? Think no more, your wish will surely be anticipated by the restaurant
staff.
8.
Visit to Coloured Canyon

One
of the natural wonders of the Sinai, the Coloured Canyon, can
be visited from Taba. It's a maze of sandstone rocks in hues of yellow, purple,
red, magenta and gold reaching up in some places a height of 40 meters. The
uneven forms and height of the rocks sometimes make climbing necessary, so be
prepared and try to get there as early as possible, not only because of the
weather, but also to avoid the crowds. Although you might agree that the magic
of the place is best enjoyed when you're on your own, you will have to take a
guided tour to the Canyon. Many hotels and tour operators in Taba organize day
tours to this amazing destination.
9.
Diving in Ras Mohammed

Egypt's
first protected area is a world-famous area with several top diving locations.
The area of Ras Mohammed is a cape formed by ancient
corals; you can see those emerging on the surface of the sea. It is
indisputably one of the most beautiful places in South Sinai. Due to currents
carrying out of the Gulf of Aqaba, the underwater inhabitants of the area are
simply exceptional and a lot of fish come here from the open seas in search of
food and shelter: you'll observe an unperceived abundance of hard and soft
corals, big schools of tunas, barracudas, jackfish, and even sharks, only to
name a few. Strong currents bringing in a wide variety of fishes made the spot
one of the most perfect sites for underwater photography.
10.
Giza Camel Rides

A
camel ride is a must-do for every first-time Egypt traveler. Many people who
visit the Giza plateau
choose to go on a camel ride around the Pyramids. Yet a better idea is to
explore the desert behind the Pyramids.
Try
to be there just before sunset to enjoy a magnificent view of the Pyramids, as
well as the mystical and melodious Call to Prayer rising from hundreds of
mosques at the same time.
But
before going on a camel ride, always agree on the price first and give a tip
only if you want to!
