Along the Red Sea coast, there are many Egyptian resorts, two very well known towns are called: Sharm El-Sheikh and Hurghada.
Not a bed option for a few days.

The mysterious Sphinx is a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head of a human, was carved out of limestone.
Egypt – Pyramids
I’m aware someone may say “pyramids are nothing special”, “it’s just a few stones” etc.
I think they are very impressive, their history, how they were built and even the location – you are just outside the big city, but at the same time your’e on the desert.

The Giza pyramid complex is located on the Giza Plateau.
You’ll find there amazing pyramids and famous Sphinx.
That’s the place to feel “like in Egypt”, or in ancient Egypt. 😉

Islamic Cairo is the historic part of the city. This name may be a bit confusing, because it doesn’t mean that’s the only Islamin area in Cairo; it’s just the one with many historical sites.
Egypt – Egyptian Museum
You could easily spend a whole day in the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities, also called as the Egyptian Museum. Simply enjoy an amazing ancient world! 🙂

but for me, one of the best places in Cairo is the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities with a rich collection of items from ancient Egypt.
