For me it’s the Valley of The Kings.
It is the most interesting place in Egypt from a historical point of view and of immense archaeological value.
The History, the Pyramids, the temples & the tombs.
From the chaos of Cairo’s streets to the awe inspiring enormity of the pyramids and the temples, (especially the behemoth of Karnak complex, with its representation of the earth’s development from primordial times), Egypt fascinates and captivates. The new Grand Egyptian museum tops it off!
I once was offered a one-day charter flight to the pyramids from Crete for $100 and I passed on the opportunity. Ok, it was 1981. $100 seemed like a lot of money… I’ve regretted it ever since!
it would be wonderful to visit Egypt, something that has been on my bucket list for many years, sadly I have been ill for a few years, so that chance is slipping away.
For me I think it’s the history and artefacts. To see it in real life instead of only reading about it would be magical. Of course who isn’t intrigued by the pyramids and their grandeur. It’s mind boggling how they came to be.
A chance to see the Great Pyramids and the rich ancient history of the area.
I want to get lost in it’s streets, to visit the markets, to see how the locals live…
The three great pyramids stand silently, majestically, eternally behind it, but all I want to do is hold the “hand” of the mystical sphinx.
Egypt is a wonderful place to visit.
I became so interested in Egypt…specifically ancient Egypt, the pyramids, the discovered tombs like King Tut’s & the undiscovered like Cleopatra’s when I was in elementary school. I wanted to grow up & become an Egyptologist. Instead I became a mom before I even had the chance to grow up. I will never say that becoming a teen mom to my son was a mistake & 1 thing I was never willing to do was pawn my son off on anyone like my mother did with me. My Granny raised me to be better than that. 1 thing I will say is that becoming a mother at 16 definitely changed my aspirations. It had to. Now I’m almost 51 years old. I came within 2 hours of dying from ecoli & sepsis caused by a kidney stone that then took my kidney function down to 18% in September 2024. One of the things I thought about so much while I laid in the hospital for 7 days then, while out of work & recuperating at home for almost a month, is that I almost died & have never gotten to even see the pyramids, the Sphinx or any of the amazing parts of Egypt that I’ve loved for so long. Needless to say, this is DEFINITELY #1 on my bucket list! 
In addition to the “usual” sights, i’d love to visit St. Catherine’s on Mt Sinai
I’m a huge history buff, and there’s so much history in a country as old as Egypt. I’d love to get to know modern Egypt as well, but it’s the pyramids and other ancient structures that really draw me to the country. Plus, the Nile is one of the great rivers of the world.
Absolutely the ancient historical sites , though a trip on the Nile sounds appealing as well. A slower approach to touring.
I would love to go to the new museum . I saw the parade on tv and was so impressed. Then to the pyramids. Of course to Alexandrea to see of the new site of Cleopatra tomb. They have not found her yet but they have found her tomb. I’m so ready to go. There is so much to see.

I would love to see the pyramids. It’s amazing they have stood the test of time - truly a wonder!
The ancient historic sites pull me in the most. I’ve been fascinated by Egyptian history and mythology for as long as I can remember. Growing up in church introduced me to the interconnected histories of Egypt, Persia, and Palestine, and watching The Mummy definitely sealed my love of ancient Egypt. I’ve continued studying it ever since. Learning in history class about the loss of the Library of Alexandria was one of the most heartbreaking moments for me because of how much history and knowledge disappeared with it.
More than anything, I would love to stand at one of Egypt’s ancient sites, take off my shoes, and feel the earth beneath my feet—literally grounding myself in the history. To physically stand where people lived, worshipped, learned, and built thousands of years ago would be almost indescribable. After spending so much of my life reading about ancient Egypt, I would want to experience that connection with every possible sense.
The Pyramids.
Abu sibel and the cruise in nile!!! and the people. the real people of Egypt.
To see the Total Solar Eclipse in Luxor and a Pyramids off course.
