    "The Temple of Abu Simbe, 280 km south of Aswan, Egypt, and only a few dozen kilometers from Sudan, the southernmost tip of Aswan, Lake Nasser is nearby. Built between 1300 and 1233 BC, it was built by the greatest Pharaoh of ancient Egypt, Ramses II, and is said to have its name from the first little boy guide who took Westerners to the scene. Abu Simbee, along with many of its relics downstream to Philae Island, is a Nubian site designated as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO."

    "Located in the valley, directly below the cliff, it is very impressive. There is still a short road after entering the gate of the scenic spot. You can take the scenic car and come to the long lift. This is a building that enters the architecture textbook."

    "There is a magical desert outside Cairo, covered with snow-like white sand. It looks very strange, and there are many weathered rock shapes in this desert. As if coming to an extraterrestrial planet, it is definitely a good place to take pictures."
    Al Wadi Al Gadid Desert
    >100km from downtown
    Highlights: The White Desert is located near the Baihariya Oasis, more than 300 kilometers southwest of Cairo, not far from the Black Desert. It has a unique weathered terrain, and various strange white rocks can be seen on a large expanse of open yellow sand, and it is also a popular place for desert camping and watching the desert sunrise. A variety of strange rocks Visiting the White Desert is mainly to appreciate the white rocks formed by wind and sand weathering. They have different shapes, such as chicken-shaped stones, camel stones, seal stones, mushroom stones, etc., which are very interesting. These rocks add a beautiful touch to the monotonous yellow desert, and people can't help but admire the magic of nature. Crystal Mountains can also be found near the desert. The transparent sandstone reflects white light under the sunlight, like crystal clear and shiny. Desert Camping and Desert Sunrise In addition to viewing strange rocks, you can also play sandboarding in the White Desert, but night camping is a very attractive activity. When night falls, the empty desert will be shrouded in stars, which is particularly charming. Not only that, but there are often cute little foxes in the desert at night.

    Qesm Al Wahat Al Khargah
    >100km from downtown
    Highlights: Tutankhamun's Tomb Almost everyone who comes to the Valley of the Kings will not miss this legendary tomb. In November 1922, Egyptian archaeologist Howard Carter discovered treasures far beyond his imagination here, and the mystery of Tutankhamun has been unveiled since then. Most of the treasures have now been moved to the Cairo Museum, but Tutankhamun's mummy remains in place. Tutankhamun is one of the unremarkable tombs in the Valley of the Kings. The pharaoh was only 18 years old when he died, and it was too late to even complete a tomb, but the many treasures including the world-famous gold are still amazing.

    Highlights: Ramses III was a valiant pharaoh in ancient Egypt. His mausoleum was 125 meters long, the longest in the Valley of the Kings.

The mummy of the pharaoh is now kept in the Cairo Museum. The sarcophagus of the pharaoh is in the Louvre, France, and the beautifully carved lid is in the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge.
