Absolutely amazing. It’s hard to imagine I’ve now been to these places that I learned about in Mrs. Pittman’s 11th grade art history course.

In 2010 I quit my job as a graphic designer in Boston and went on a 15+ month trip around the world. The journey took me to places like North Africa, the Middle East, India and Southeast Asia. Since 2011 I've been living in Berlin—Europe's most hipster city.

Hi Janice, So many of Egypt's monuments are fascinating every which way throughout history. Even the modern history of finding them and moving them. So much wonder here!

Egypt is really a very beautiful, ancient, primitive and a very historical destination with all the beautiful and sacred tombs, shrines and all the great sculptures of the olden era of Egyptian civilization and all the great architecture of ancient times.
It is a unique destination of preserving the dead all the mummies are preserved here with all the wax and other materials and are very unique and price-less and too antique which are all very historical and memorable.

Oh man. I'm glad you did then! Whew. A few friends of mine skipped out on going to sit by the pool of our hotel when we went. They didn't seem too upset but I felt really bad for them missing out. The walk to the temple is definitely one to get the energy going since you know its literally right on the other side of the rock mound. Still surprising how they moved it brick by brick to its current location

Jeremy – Yep I'd agree with you about Abu Simbel. I'm so glad I took your recommendation, too. If you hadn't pestered me so much to see it I might've skipped it!!!

Thanks Jenna! Egypt is beautiful. But I'd recommend visiting in a cooler climate — especially if you go to places like Abu Simbel. It can get unbearably hot.

Yep, Abu Simbel is absolutely amazing. Not everyone goes because it's so far out of the way but it's definitely worth the trouble.

Hahaha Sasha! Didn't think about that but you may very well be correct!

I think Abu Simbel is the most beautiful temple in Egypt by far. This picture is great

I love the wombat photos, and this one is great– such an exciting and impressive place. I haven't been there but Egypt is high on my list.

I haven't been to Egypt yet but I find more people are impressed with this than the pyramids.
