Ever heard of the Nile River? The longest river in the world? Yeah, you have, well how would you like to sail down it? What about riding a camel? Or better yet, ride a camel to one of the 7 wonders of the world? Is that not really your style? How about windsurfing, yachting, para sailing, water skiing, and snorkeling at a reef? Maybe you want to just relax, how about a trip to the hot springs? Want to try a new way to relax, how about burying yourself in sand? What’s that? It is a therapy treatment when you get buried in sand as an effective and quick way to relieve the aches and pains in your body. You are probably asking yourself if this is a round the world trip in order to do all these things. The answer to that is NO! It is a one stop trip to Egypt! I know what you are thinking, Egypt? Why would anyone want to go to Egypt? When is the last time you heard of someone vacationing in Egypt? Probably never, because nobody knows off all the great things to do in Egypt.
Sailing on the Nile RRiver
The Great Pyramid of Giza
The Red Sea Coral Reef
A Hot Spring In Egypt
The Nile River is the world’s longest river and it empties into the ocean in no other than Egypt. You can sail across the world’s longest river while peacefully swerving in and out of the slow moving deep blue water and observing some of the most diverse culture in the world. Have you ever seen a camel? Probably not in real life out of a zoo, but in Egypt you can actually ride these majestic animals. These camels can take you the whole way to The Great Pyramid of Giza. You don’t have to walk one step because camels are great for riding and they can even hold your stuff for you. How many people can say they say one of the Seven Wonders of the World? That is certainly some to brag about. You will be amazed when you see these 455 foot pyramids. Yes, 455 feet! That is almost 46 stories! After you soak up some of the great ancient culture of The Great Pyramid, how about some adventure? I can almost guarantee you that nobody ever told you how great the aquatic activities in Egypt are? Isn’t it just all desert? NO!! Egypt is surrounded by some of the most interesting bodies of water in the world! The Nile, the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea! There are so many things that Egypt offers for aquatic activities. You can go para sailing,water skiing, windsurfing, or kite surfing. You might be saying “Those are all things that I can do at the beaches here in America”, but can you go snorkeling in the Red Sea Coral Reef? I don’t think so! There are also many places where you can go deep sea diving and see some of the most beautiful sea creatures on the planet. There are 2,148 known species of fish in the Red Sea alone! I can guarantee you that you will see some beautiful and amazing fish! After all of the diving and windsurfing you are probably going to be pretty tired, well that’s okay because there are plenty of ways to relax in Egypt. Ever hear of the saying, “Don’t knock it until you try it”? Well, that is exactly what I am encouraging when I tell you to go to Egypt and get buried in sand. This practice has been around for thousands of years and believe me when I say it WORKS! After your body is all relaxed, you can end your trip with a day at the hot springs. There are hot springs all over Egypt and sitting in a hot spring is like sitting in the most expensive hot tub in the world. If you are interesting in improving your skin’s health as well, there are many places where you can take long relaxing mud baths.
If none of this sounds interesting or fun to you I suggest you just try a Chuck E Cheese or your local Dave and Busters, but if you want a real vacation you’ll never forget buy a ticket to Egypt now!
