Today is National Tutankhamun Day, and we will therefore invite you to learn about his history

Image
Tutankhamun was an Egyptian pharaoh of the 18th dynasty (ruled ca. 1332 BC – 1323 BC), during the New Kingdom. Tutankhamun was the son of Akhen aten (Amenhotep IV) and one of Akhenaten's sisters. As a prince he was known as Tutankhaten. He ascended to the throne around 1333 BC. When he became king, he married his half-sister, Ankhesenpaaten, who later changed her name to Ankhesenamun. They had two daughters, both stillborn. Given his age, the king probably had very powerful advisers, presumably including General Horemheb, the Vizier Ay, and Maya, the "Overseer of the Treasury". They probably also advised him to go back to the old gods, and in his third regnal year, Tutankhamun reversed several changes made during his father's reign. He ended the worship of the god Aten and restored the god Amun to supremacy. The ban on the cult of Amun was lifted and traditional privileges were restored to its priesthood. The capital was moved back to Thebes an...

Du vil først besøge Det Ægyptiske Museum , som rummer en umådelig stor samling af artefakter, smykker, statuer, sarkofager, mumier og mange andre genstande.

For et mindre beløb kan du komme ind i ”mumie rummet”, hvor du kan stå ansigt til ansigt med kendte, ægyptiske royale mumier fra oldtiden. Derefter vil du se det velbevarede Salah El Din Citadel , hjertet af det islamiske Cairo , opført af en af de største arabiske herskere, også kendt som ”Saladin” i Europa.

Inde bag fæstningsmurerne finder du yderligere Mohammed Ali Moskéen , som også er kendt som Alabaster Moskéen .

One Day Trip to Luxor from Hurghada

Image
Reaching Luxor, we will first of all make a short stop en route to have a look at the 3,400 years old Colossi of Memnon , the gigantic statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III who were once standing guard in front of his no longer existing memorial temple complex that had been even larger than the Temple of Karnak.   After this stop we will show you the Valley of the Kings where during a period of 500 years the ancient Egyptians buried their kings and powerful nobles and where the mummies of some of the most famous and glamorous persons of the Pharaonic time were found. Beginning with the 18th Dynasty and ending with the 20th, the kings abandoned the Memphis area and built their tombs in Thebes. You can descend to the tombs of great Egyptian rulers and discover the well preserved colourful paintings and hieroglyphic stories on the walls. The king's formal names and titles are inscribed in his tomb along with his images. Now we are ready for another highlight – the Temple of Que...

Bådudflugt til Pharaoh’s Island fra Taba

Image
Din udflugt til Pharaoh’s Island (Gezira Al Faraon) vil begynde fra marinaen i Taba. Det tager kun nogle minutter inden du nærmer dig din destination med hast. Først og fremmest vil du besøge selve øen, selvom dens navn siger noget andet, er her ingen levn fra faraonernes tid. I stedet finder du en stor fæstning , der dateres tilbage til korsfarernes tid, hvor korsfarerne byggede en lille fæstning på øen, der skulle hjælpe dem med at forsvare deres rute gennem Akaba Bugten. Senere erobrede den berømte Sultan Salah El Din (Saladin) øen, og rekonstruerede og udbyggede citadellet. Efter frokost ombord på båden vil du begynde på en sjov og interessant snorkletur rundt om øen. Her kan du opleve store koralrev med myriader af fisk og andre havdyr der lever blandt de smukke koraller. Du kan også vælge at blive ombord, og bare nyde solen , se ud over havet (måske vil du endda se delfiner!) og nyde den forbløffende udsigt over den Ægyptiske kystlinje på den ene side, og den S...

Egyptian Beverages

Qasab (Sugarcane Juice): Another very popular drink in Egypt is the Sugarcane Juice.

Abu Simbel

Image
The Abu Simbel temples are two massive rock temples in Abu Simbel in Nubia, southern Egypt. They are situated on the western bank of Lake Nasser, about 230 km southwest of Aswan. The complex is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site known a s the "Nubian Monuments," which run from Abu Simbel downriver to Philae. The twin temples were originally carved out of the mountainside during the reign of Pharaoh Ramesses II in the 13th century BC, as a lasting monument to himself and his queen Nefertari, to commemorate his alleged victory at the Battle of Kadesh, and to intimidate his Nubian neighbors. However, the complex was relocated in its entirety in 1968, on an artificial hill made from a domed structure, high above the Aswan High Dam reservoir. The relocation of the temples was necessary to avoid their being submerged during the creation of Lake Nasser, the massive artificial water reservoir formed after the building of the Aswan High Dam on the Nile River...
