Egypt is a popular tourist destination for Ukrainians, but most do not use the full potential of this country. Travelers are sure that you need to go to Egypt overseas, diving, pyramids, and other classic excursions. Travelers are offered many other attractions that will appeal to even those with extensive travel experience. In the material “DIP”, a tourism expert, talks about the non-banal activities of Egypt.
Night in the desert
As a rule, tourists come for a day tour in the desert. They ride camels, jeeps and have dinner, and then return to the room. However, at night the desert looks very different, so this experience is worth trying for everyone.
“Especially such an adventure will impress lovers. But even if you are not among the romantics, the stars in the sky over the desert will certainly leave their mark.”
Cruise on the Nile
There are several routes to choose from, the most popular one lasts four days and covers the main attractions. During the cruise, you can feel like a hero of historical events that took place here many centuries ago.
“As a rule, comfortable boats run from Aswan to Luxor, stopping at the most interesting places. During the trip, you can see ancient temples, the Valley of the Kings, and the burial chambers of the pharaohs.”
Diving at ghost ships
This entertainment is suitable for those who have already tried classic diving in Egypt and admired the beauty of corals and fish. There are places on the coast that offer diving to the sunken ships for those who want to tickle their nerves.
“Off the coast of Egypt today there are about forty places where this is officially allowed. All sunken ships have their tragic fate and, of course, an aura of mystery. Colorful fish will still swim around slowly, but at the same time you will find yourself as if in the frame of an adventure film “.
Visiting oases
Another way to get to know some of the traditions of the local population better. Here you can not only see the beauty around but also see the life of baboons that live in oases.
“One of the largest and most famous oases of Siwa is not only surrounded by greenery but is also famous for its thermal spring – Cleopatra’s pool.”
A trip to the Colored Canyon
Those who have been here saying that when traveling to this attraction, they feel like they are on another planet. Here you need to walk and enjoy the incredible views.
“In the Sinai Mountains there is a canyon about 5 kilometers long, and its rocks are famous not only for their bright red, gold, and bright purple colors but also for the ability to change hue with different lighting and changing times of the day.”
Museum of Marine Biology
The Red Sea is home to many different types of fish, as well as rich flora. Even if you have already tried diving, you have not seen everything this body of water has to offer. In the museum, you can see rare species of fish, corals, sea turtles, and much more.
“On the northern outskirts of Hurghada, there is the Red Sea Museum. This is a whole science station where it is impossible to visit all the halls, but it does not hurt to admire the underwater world, passing along the corridor, the walls of which are a huge aquarium.”
