Although I only went to Egypt for a few days I found it fasinating and would definately visit again. Egypt is full of things to see and do including the Cairo museam, the Sphinx and the three pyramids.
The Cairo museam: The Cairo museam is well worth visiting and is full of Egypt's history. It contains Tutankamun's mask, the coffin's he was burried in along with everything else found in the young boy's tomb including his mummified body! The museam also has many other things, there are too many to count. It is very interesting and well worth visiting.
The Sphinx: The Sphinx is a little way away from the pyramids and is very big. It is definately well worth visiting. Next to the Sphinx are the temples in which the Pharo's were mummified. The Egyptions carried stone hundreds of miles to buld a temple for every person they mummified. This showed that the Egyptions were very commited to their leaders. It is worth having a guided tour to tell you what different things are.
The three pyramids: The three pyramids were built by hand and were covered in gold leaf. One of the pyramids still has some gold at the top. It is well worth the money to go into the third pyramid. You have to climb down a steep hill to get to the different compartments in which the Pharo's body's were burried and their belongings.
The only bad thing about visiting the Sphinx and Pyramids is the people which try to sell you things, they hastle you and try to get you to buy the things that they have made. The best thing to do is to ignore them and just get on with what you are doing.
Although Egypt is very hot it is well worth visiting and a unique experiance. It may not be that enjoyable for young children as there is a lot of walking to do. You can visit Egypt on day trips which run from other countries, that is basically what I did and enjoyed it very much. I loved visiting Egypt and will definately go back soon.

Advantages: a testament to the genius/talent/skill of the ancient people. Lovely weather Disadvantages: the men are extremely rude, the temples are not given the respect they deserve
