Tourism is a very important sector in Egypt.
I’ve been always fascinated by ancient world, so visiting ruins in Egypt, Greece, Rome, and many other countries, is a wonderful experience for me.
Egypt – Tourism

Egypt – Nile River
Nile is the longest river in Africa, for many, it’s also the longest river in the world.
You can find Nile River in 11 countries: Burundi, Congo, Egypt, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, South Sudan, Sudan, Tanzania and Uganda.
Egypt – Arab Republic of Egypt
Do you know, that Egypt is officially called the Arab Republic of Egypt?
Somehow, in my mind, Egypt is not really an Arabic country, but Pharaoh. 😉
Egypt – Introduction
Welcome to Egypt!
This September is going to be all about Egypt, hopefully you’ll like it.
England – Final Impression
Goodbye England!
Today, I’m showing you the last picture of this month.
How did you like my England series?
Maybe one day England with new places will be again on my blog; there is still lots to see.
For sure, I’ll show you in future London and other countries/territories of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
And tomorrow, we’re starting a trip in a warm, tourist destination. 🙂
Stay tuned!
England – Streets
In the UK (not only in England), I like streets with characteristic (or the same), old buildings.
I know, “it’s nothing special”, but I still think they look nice.
England – Angles
Is England country of Angles?
maybe…
The name “England” comes from the old English name “Englaland”, that means “land of the Angles”. 😉
England – Winchester Round Table
Winchester Castle or the Great Hall is a must-see place in Winchester.
You’ll find there so-called Winchester Round Table or a medieval replica of King Arthur’s Round Table (seen in the picture).
The oak table is form the 13th century, but its paintwork was done later.
The tabletop measures 5.5 meters in diameter and weighs 1200 kg.
England – Winchester
Winchester is apparently the best place for living in the United Kingdom.
It’s also a nice place for tourists.
England – Salisbury Cathedral
Salisbury Cathedral was built in the 12th century.
I’m not sure, is Salisbury a very well known tourist destination.
I think, there are many cathedral cities/towns in England or in the United Kingdom, and all of them are nice and worth visiting! 🙂
England – Salisbury
Salisbury is an another nice, English cathedral city.
England – Windsor
Windsor is an English town with famous Windsor Castle, one of the official residences of the British Royal Family.
England – Cathedrals are not always Cathedrals
In the United Kingdom there are lots of old cathedrals/churches.
There are so many of them, so they are often not churches any more, but e.g. it’s a shop, internet cafe, etc.
England – Canterbury
Canterbury is an English city with a beautiful cathedral.
Canterbury is popular historic tourist destination and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
I liked it a lot.
England – Manchester & Liverpool
A long time ago, my friend was doing his PhD in Manchester, so I visited him and had a chance to explore the city and its vicinity.
Mostly, I remember 2 things.
First, there is an amazing library, the John Rylands Library, in Manchester.
It’s a Neo-Gothic building that belongs to the University of Manchester.
You can learn more about this beautiful place from its own website.
Whenever I hear that someone was in Manchester I ask the question: “Have you seen this wonderful library?”.
Second thing is “The Beatles”, famous English rock band.
I was flying to Liverpool Airport, that’s very close to Manchester.
The airport is actually called “Liverpool John Lennon Airport”, what makes sense, because The Beatles were formed in Liverpool. So if you go to Manchester, visit also Liverpool and when you go to Liverpool, don’t miss Manchester. 🙂
England – Leeds Castle
Leeds Castle is a very nice castle with a large garden, located in Kent, close to the village of Leeds.
The castle was built in 1119.
It’s on islands in a lake, so you can spend there a very relaxing time.
England – Leeds that is NOT Leeds
I guess, in each country you can find many towns having the same name. Sometimes it may be confusing, especially for tourists when they want to visit something particular.
In England, there are at least two Leeds;
one in Yorkshire (the known one)
and the other one in Kent (with the castle).
I’ll focus on the Leeds Castle (Kent) that is not a big Leeds in Yorkshire. 🙂
England – Study in Oxford
Oxford is famous for the University of Oxford.
Have you ever thought about studying there?
Well, it sounds prestigious, but it’s not impossible! If you want to, you just have to try
England – Oxford
Oxford is obviously a university city.
It’s also known as the “City of Dreaming Spires” because of a poet Matthew Arnold.
I can only write, it’s a place worth visiting, and you can spend there a lovely day exploring ancient and modern areas of Oxford. So don’t miss it! 🙂
England – Roman & Modern Baths
The Roman Baths are situated in the centre of Bath next to the Abbey. It’s not possible to swim there. But, there is also a spa in Bath, where you can enjoy natural thermal waters.
Apparently, the Roman Baths are one of the most visited heritage attractions in the United Kingdom.
You can easily combine your trip with Stonehenge or London.
