b'Hear about travel to Egypt including Cairo and climbing Mount Sinai in the Sinai Peninsula as the Amateur Traveler talks to Greg from ThePresentPerspective.com about their recent trip to see a different part of Egypt.\\nhttps://amateurtraveler.com/travel-to-egypt-and-mount-sinai/\\nWhy should you go to Egypt?\\nGreg says, "I think there are a million reasons why someone should go to Egypt. Warm and hospitable people. Great culture. Egyptian history obviously is vast, and it\'s one of the oldest civilizations in the world. There\'s so much to see in Lower Egypt, in Cairo there\'s just an endless wealth of treasures to explore but when we visited Egypt, we decided to go a little bit off of the traditional route that a lot of tourists go it\'s not that we weren\'t interested in going to Luxor and Aswan and doing a Nile cruise. We enjoy history, but we\'re not history buffs, and I think, to us, there was enough ancient history in Cairo."\\n"So while Luxor would have been great to visit, we had enough of a time with Egyptian history in Cairo, with the pyramids and Saqqara and all of that. So we decided to go a different route and instead of heading south, head east. So we headed into the Sinai Peninsula."\\nDay 1: Arrival in Cairo\\n\\nArrive in Cairo, the capital of Egypt.\\n\\nCheck into your accommodation in Giza.\\n\\nDay 2: Exploring the Pyramids\\n\\nSpend the day exploring the Giza Plateau.\\n\\nVisit the iconic Pyramids of Giza, including the Great Pyramid of Khufu.\\n\\nExplore the Sphinx and the ancient temples in the area.\\n\\nDay 3: Saqqara and Memphis\\n\\nHead to Saqqara, known for the Step Pyramid, which is one of the oldest pyramid structures.\\n\\nExplore the ancient city of Memphis, the former capital of Egypt.\\n\\nReturn to your accommodation in Cairo or Giza for the night.\\n\\nDay 4: Coptic Cairo and St. Simon the Tanner Monastery\\n\\nExplore the historic district of Coptic Cairo.\\n\\nVisit St. Simon the Tanner Monastery, located in caves on Mount Makatum.\\n\\nEnjoy the unique atmosphere of this historic site.\\n\\nSpend the night in Cairo.\\n\\nDay 5: Travel to St. Catharine\\n\\nDepart for St. Catharine, a town located at the base of Mount Sinai.\\n\\nChoose either a road trip from Cairo or fly to Sharm El Sheikh International Airport and arrange transportation to St. Catharine.\\n\\nCheck into your accommodation in St. Catharine.\\n\\nDay 6: Hiking Mount Sinai\\n\\nWake up early to begin your sunrise hike up Mount Sinai.\\n\\nEnjoy the breathtaking views from the summit as the sun rises.\\n\\nVisit St. Catherine\'s Monastery, one of the oldest in the world, located at the foot of the mountain.\\n\\nSpend the night in St. Catharine.\\n\\nDay 7: Dahab and the Red Sea\\n\\nHead to the coastal town of Dahab.\\n\\nExplore the vibrant underwater world by snorkeling or diving in the Blue Hole.\\n\\nVisit the Colored Canyon, which offers stunning natural beauty.\\n\\nEnjoy the Magic Lake for a unique swimming experience.\\n\\nStay in Dahab for the night.\\n\\nDay 8: Relaxing in Dahab\\n\\nSpend a leisurely day on the beach, enjoying the clear waters of the Red Sea.\\n\\nVisit the Blue Lagoon for a peaceful experience.\\n\\nTake in the local culture and cuisine in Dahab.\\n\\nRelax and unwind in this beautiful coastal town.\\n\\nDay 9: Return to Cairo\\n\\nTravel to Sharm El Sheikh International Airport.\\n\\nFly back to Cairo and home\\n\\nEgypt has so much to see.
