Historical sites of Egypt

On my trip to Egypt I saw many interesting sites. I had the chance to see the pyramids of Giza, the Valley of the Kings, and Abydos. Seeing the locations I noticed these were some of the oldest sites since ancient Egypt. Also visiting these historical locations I learned that their culture was mostly about religion, if there was a king or pharaoh, they looked upon gods. This adventure reminded me of a story I once read, “The Fisherman and The Jinnee,” the story was based upon a fisherman who ended up catching a jinnee on shore, but the jinnee tried to kill the fisherman. The fisherman showed very religious values of Allah. While being in Egypt I did see a lot of Mosques and many religious buildings there.

Pyramids of Giza- 3000BC - 2001BC - Giza is home to the pyramids of kings Khufu, Khafra and Menkaure. The largest pyramid in Giza, and in the world, belongs to the second king of the Fourth Dynasty, Khufu or “Cheop”.

Valley of the Kings - Ancient Egypt - The Valley of the Kings in Luxor in Egypt was once part of the Ancient Egyptian city of Thebes.From the Eighteenth Dynasty to the Twentieth, the pharaohs of Egypt were buried in the Valley of the Kings. Today, visitors flock to see the myriad of ancient tombs cut into the limestone of the Valley of the Kings, mostly contained in its eastern valley.

Abydos - 2000BC - 1001BC - Abydos is an important Ancient Egyptian site located about 50 miles north-west of Luxor which contains a wealth of tombs, temples and other archaeological remains.
