Egypt borders the Mediterranean Sea and is located between Libya and the Gaza Strip. It is situated in Northern Africa. Egypt has hot and dry summers and moderate winters due to the vast amount of desert plateau that there is.
Egypt is popular and well known for its pyramids and desert plateau, and of those are the Pyramids of Giza. There are three pyramids and each one of them at one point had an adjoining mortuary temple. There also used to be a causeway that descended down to a valley temple situated near the Nile. For thousands of years before the modern era, it was the tallest building in the world.
The second pyramid that was built was the Pyramid of Chephren. It was built beside the Great Pyramid of Khufu. The Pyramid of Chephren was built higher on the plateau so it looks taller than Khufu's pyramid from many angles. Chephren was known to be the son and successor of Khufu and his pyramid was designed more modestly than Khufu's pyramid.
Another exciting activity to do when in Egypt is go camel riding in the Sahara Desert. This activity is very popular in Egypt and is offered to many of the tourists. Tourists will take a jeep up to the top of the desert and then get on a camel that is led by one of the local professionals and ride down the desert.
