Despite massive modernization, Egypt still manages to preserve their ancient culture. Part of that culture is shopping for low-cost goods in colorful, lively souks. Souks are local open-air markets, comprising establishments that range from stores with fronts that are covered with colorful awnings to simple stalls with nothing more than a chair, a table or mat to place the merchandise on, and a large umbrella to protect the merchant from the burning sun. shopping in Egypt Historically, souks were erected outside cities, usually at places where incoming caravans would stop. Merchants would then display their merchandise. As years went by, souks then shifted inside urban centers due to the phenomenal growth and business potential of a city.

he revolution in Egypt has just happened, but already a well-established tour packager for Egyptian vacations, Florida-based Sunny Land Tours, is sending customers back to the country on regular package itineraries. The thought of visiting the scene of recent headlines wont appeal to everyone, though, so the company has halved the regular price of its trips to induce business. What cost $2,598 two months ago is now being sold for $1,299 including hotels, meals, and airfare from the United States. That’s the equivalent of spending just $162 a night, before taxes, and it’s the lowest price travelers are likely to see to Egypt for years to come. Sunny Land Travel’s tour, called the Grand Nile Cruise, spends only one out of eight touring days in Cairo itself. Most of the trip is occupied by a seven-night cruise up the Nile to Luxor, which has been a popular tourist activity in Egypt for well over a century. Other companies have told AOL Travel News that they don’t intend to return to t...

The New Kingdom grows into a real imperial power, and Hatshepsut's father is the first Egyptian we know who see the river Euphrates. He instantly names the river "the flood that runs the wrong direction". Of course, a flood should run from south to north as the Nile... Hatshepsut did not expand the empire but kept the borders strong, but ThothMoses III followed the imperial tradition of his dynasty. Then suddenly, for the first time in 1500 years, a revolution breaks loose. Pharaoh Amenhotep III changes his name to EchnAton, and forbid every god apart from the sungod Aton. He destroys temples and kills priests in Waset before he moves north and establishes a new capital in middle Egypt. Apart from being a good poet (his sun hymn is very much alike the later King Solomon biblical verses) the whole art changes during his revolution. Above we can see EchnAton in a typical "El Amarna Art" style. His face is long and narrow, his shoulders narrow and the h...

When the pyramid times bluntly ended with the 6th Dynasty the country went into chaos and lots of small kingdoms. The new unification came first after 130 years (around year 2050 BC) and then from the ruler of ancient Waset (Luxor). The country was once again one nation and the 11th Dynasty ruled the country from Waset. During the 11th and 12th Dynasty the country remained united for nearly 300 year and this is the period today known as the Middle Kingdom. In the 11th Dynasty Pharaoh Mentohotep builds a temple under a cliff on the west bank of Waset, the same place the famous terrace temple of Hatshepsut is built some hundred years later. The statue above is Mentohotep, and was found among the remains of his temple in Waset. In todays Lisht, close to Hwt-Ka-Ptah (Memphis near Cairo), 12 statues was found of Pharao Sensuret. The capital had been moved from Waset to Hwt-ka-Ptah when the 12th Dynasty was established. Sensuret had one of the few pyramids that were built after t...

“I am often asked by people why doing a spiritual tour of Egypt gives you a better experience of being in Egypt than an ordinary tour of Egypt and why doing a spiritual tour of Egypt with Spiritual Egypt Tours is different to all the other spiritual tours of Egypt in the marketplace.  Our spiritual tours of Egypt are more expensive than most other spiritual tours of Egypt and longer in duration but what sets our spiritual tours apart from the rest is our Journey to Awakening Program that is included as a bonus to the tour. Egypt is a country that is on the bucket list for places to visit for many people all over the world.   Some people have a connection to the pyramids, the sphinx, the temples (and lets not forget the Mummies) that has been with them since childhood.  Others just want to see the pyramids because they are the last remaining of the original 7 wonders of the world and because Egypt is an exotic country to visit.   ...
