It’s not news that Egypt is one of the most-visited places in the world, as it’s home to one of the earliest and greatest civilizations. Who could resist the Great Pyramids of Giza and the impressive Nile River?
The best way to learn about Egypt’s prominent past is a visit to the long-awaited Grand Egyptian Museum (although the opening date is still TBD 2020). This billion-dollar project will showcase thousands of artifacts, including some of the best from King Tut’s tomb.
