Egypt summer adventure guide🏜️, five thousand years of civilization ruins + Red Sea romance, even archaeology professors say this itinerary is amazing! 8-day Egypt highlights route: Day 1: Cairo 📍Giza Pyramid Complex: Must-visit Great Pyramid of Khufu + the Sphinx, recommended to arrive before 7 AM to avoid crowds (ticket 240 EGP) 📍Egyptian Museum: Tutankhamun's golden mask is on the second floor! It's more cost-effective to book a Chinese guide in advance (Address: Tahrir Square) Day 2: Cairo - Luxor 📍Saladin Citadel: Islamic architecture complex overlooking the panoramic view of Cairo ✈️Fly to Luxor in the afternoon (1-hour flight, EgyptAir recommended) 📍Luxor Temple night tour: The obelisks under the lights are especially stunning (open 18:00-22:00) Day 3: West Bank of Luxor Day 4: Luxor - Aswan 📍Temple of Edfu: A must-stop on the Nile cruise 🛳️Recommended to take a cruise to Aswan (3 days 2 nights highly recommended!)

Cairo Felfela Restaurant: 60-year-old establishment, hummus with pita bread is excellent 2. Luxor Sofra: Courtyard restaurant loved by locals, roast pigeon is a must-order 3. Hurghada Starfish Seafood Market: Choose your seafood and have it cooked on site ⚠️ Hard Lessons: 1️⃣ All attraction tickets only accept cash in Egyptian pounds! 2️⃣ Cameras and tripods are prohibited in museums/temples 3️⃣ Women should wear long skirts or pants when entering mosques 4️⃣ Always say "use meter" when taking taxis to avoid being overcharged Great Pyramid of Khufu Luxor Temple Islamic Old Town Giza Pyramid Complex
