Memphis

The ancient capital of Lower Egypt, called in the past Ineb Hedj (The White Walls). The ruins of the city are 19 km south of Cairo on the West Bank of the Nile. The city was founded around 3100 BC by Menes of Tanis, who united the two kingdoms of Egypt. Memphis reached a peak of prestige under the 6th Dynasty as a centre of the cult of Ptah. The remains of the temple of Ptah and of Apis have been uncovered at the site as well as a few statues, including two four metre ones in alabaster of Ramesses II.

Luxor Temple

The city of Luxor known as ancient Thebes was the capital of Egypt during part of the Eleventh Dynasty (Middle Kingdom), and most of the Eighteenth Dynasty (New Kingdom). The archaeological remains of Thebes offer a striking testimony to Egyptian civilization at its height. The city is called "world's greatest open air museum", for it's ruins of the temple complexes at Karnak and Luxor. On the other site of Nile River, lie the monuments, temples and tombs on the West Bank Necropolis, which include the Valley of the Kings and Queens.

Colossi of Memnon

They are two massive stone statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III. The statues are made from blocks of quartzite sandstone, they reach 18 metres in height.The original function of the Colossi was to stand guard at the entrance to Amenhotep's memorial temple: a massive cult centre built during the pharaoh's lifetime, where he was worshipped as a god-on-earth both before and after his departure from this world. Memnon was a hero of the Trojan War, a King of Ethiopia who led his armies from Africa into Asia Minor to help defend the beleaguered city but was ultimately slain by Achilles. Associating the Colossi with his name generally referred to the entire Theban Necropolis as the "Memnonium".

Medinet Habu (Coloured Temple)

The Mortuary Temple of Ramses III. Medinet Habu is about 4 miles from the Valley of the Kings near the foot of the Theban Hills at the southern end of western Thebes. The mortuary temple is the best preserved temple at Thebes. Ramses III had an usual entrance built for the complex, modeled perhaps on citadels he had seen on military campaigns in Syria. The tower is in the form of a "migdol," a kind of fortified gate house. The complex have the look of a fortress since originally it was enclosed by a mud brick wall 35 feet thick and 60 feet high. The complex of buildings here dates from the early 18th Dynasty, when Hatshepsut and Tuthmose III dedicated a temple to Amun, to Roman times.

Valley of the Kings

It stands on the west bank of the Nile, across from Thebes, under the peak of the pyramid-shaped mountain Al-Qurn. The tombs in this valley were built for the Pharaohs and powerful nobles of the New Kingdom, the Eighteenth through Twentieth Dynasties of Ancient Egypt. It is separated into the East and West Valleys, with most of the important tombs in the East Valley. The West Valley has only one tomb open to the public: the tomb of Ay, Tutankhamun's successor. There are a number of other important burials there, including that of Amenhotep III, but these are still being excavated and are not publicly accessible.
The Valley was used for primary burials from approximately 1539 BC to 1075 BC, and contains some 64 tombs, starting with Thutmose I and ending with Ramesses X or XI.

Karnak Temple

El-Karnak is a small village located on the banks of the River Nile some 2.5 km north of Luxor. It is a vast open-air museum and the largest ancient religious site in the world, and is probably the second most visited ancient site in Egypt.
It consists of four main parts, of which only one is accessible for tourists, this part is Precinct of Amon-Re, which is the largest of the precincts of the temple complex, and is dedicated to Amun-Re, the chief god of the Theban Triad. This is also the "main" temple part and by far the largest part. The three other parts are closed to the public.
Construction work began in the 16th century BC. Approximately 30 pharaohs contributed to the buildings, enabling it to reach a size, complexity and diversity not seen elsewhere.

Edfu - The Temple of Horus

Edfu is located on the west bank of the River Nile between Esna and Aswan. The Temple of Edfu was built from sandstone blocks being constructed over the site of a smaller New Kingdom temple, oriented east to west, facing towards the river. The later structure faces north to south and leaves the ruined remains of the older temple Pylon to be seen on the east side of the first court. After Karnak, it is the second largest temple in Egypt; it is also one of the best preserved. Construction began under Ptolemy III Euergetes in the 3rd century BCE.

The Nubian Village

Nubia is the region in the south of Egypt, along the Nile and in northern Sudan, but in ancient times it was an independent kingdom. The earliest cultures of Nubia left no writings and are unreported in the annals of other nations. The first noticeable cultures in Nubia include first the Badarian culture, then the Amratian and finally the Gerzean.
Recently many Egyptian Nubians were forcibly resettled to make room for Lake Nasser after the construction of the dams at Aswan. Nubian villages can now be found north of Aswan on the west bank of the Nile and on Elephantine Island. It's worth to visit one of them to see it's specific culture and art.

Aswan

City in the south of Egypt, identified with the ancient city of Syen. It stands on the east bank of the Nile at the first cataract and is a busy market and tourist center.
Aswan is one of the driest inhabited places in the world, the last rain here was 6 years ago.

Philae Island - Temple of Isis

The island temple at Philae was constructed over a three-century period, by the Greek Ptolemaic dynasty and the Roman Pricipate. The principal deity of the temple complex was Isis, but other temples and shrines were dedicated to her son Horus and the goddess Hathor.
The complex is now located on the nearby island of Agilika 550 meters away.

Kom Ombo Temple

The Temple of Kom Ombo is an unusual double temple built during the Ptolemaic Period in the Egyptian town of Kom Ombo. One side of the temple is dedicated to the crocodile god Sobek, god of fertility and creator of the world. The other side is dedicated to the falcon god Haroeris, also known as Horus the Elder. Much of the temple has been destroyed by the Nile, earthquakes, and later builders who used the stones for other projects. Some of the reliefs inside were defaced by Copts who once used the temple as a church. A few of the three-hundred crocodile mummies discovered in the vicinity are displayed inside the temple.
