Aswan
Beautiful town on the River Nile. Stay a few days, stay several in this laid-back Nubian town!

Luxor
Literally a living museum at over 4000 years old. The East Bank is home to the awesome Temple of Karnakand Temple of Luxor. The Valley of the Kings on the West Bank is also very famous.

Cairo
Africa's largest city, believe it or not, and GoBus starting point. Home to a couple of big sandy toblerone chunks - the pyramids and awesome Sphinx.

Alexandria
Founded by Alexander the Great, Alexandria has a great stretch of coastline, the Mediterranean! An impressive seafront corniche where the seafood joints do a roaring trade is reason alone to visit.

Hurghada
Egypt's most popular resort town. Good for diving, snorkelling and chilling, Hurghada also has a healthy after-8 scene. For retail therapy, the town has plenty of shops selling knock-off bags and tees, snorkelling gear and suchlike.

Kom Ombo
It houses the Temple of Horus at Edfu - a huge complex that began construction in 237 BC. On the spectacular Gulf of Aqaba on the famous Red Sea coast, Dahab meaning "gold" in Arabic is a small, intimate, easy-going resort right on the Red Sea coast.
