The only monument remaining on Earth, which is part of the seven wonders of the world - Heops Pyramid - the national domain of Egypt. So far, scientists are fighting over the mystery of these stunning structures, but so far there are only hypotheses. For an additional fee, you can visit the pyramid, but keep in mind that the passage is very narrow, and the room itself is small, so fat people, as well as those who suffer from claustrophobia, better refrain and do not go inside. Another unpleasant moment may be merchants souvenirs and camel traffickers.
The first too intrusive and cryptions, and the second can offer ride on the ship by the desert, and then extort money for the opportunity to get off the camel. Be careful and if you travel alone and there is no one for you to step up, try to keep the distance.

Temple Edfa Dedicated to God Chorus. This is the second size of the temple of Egypt and is better than all preserved. The inscriptions on the walls of the temple were preserved almost perfect, which is very pleased with the Egyptology researchers.
The dimensions of the temple 137 are 39 meters. Bas-reliefs, pylons, statues - all this seems to be pissed by the oldest. If there is an opportunity, get used to the flashlight before traveling and then you can look into two chambers: in one priests we had to ritual clothes, and the second served as the storage of ancient books and texts.
Aswan dam - The largest hydraulic system of Egypt. This is a man-made miracle of modernity. In 1958, the USSR proposed his assistance in the construction of the dam.
All engineering developments were conducted by Soviet scientists. A huge number of people were involved at the construction site. In 1971, the dam was solemnly open. The creation of an Asuan dam in many ways contributed and still continues to contribute to the friendly attitude of the Egyptians to the Russians.
Abu Simbel - Two temples carved in the rock. One is more dedicated to the king Roses II, and the second less than his first wife Nefertiti. The construction of the dam has created a threat to flooding the place where the temples were located. In this regard, an unprecedented solution was made - the transfer of temples. This process lasted 4 years (from 1964 to 1968).
Temples were simply cut into blocks and dragged to another place. Abu Simbel is one of the most recognizable places of Egypt. Images of temples along with pyramids and sphinx bang on a huge number of photos.
