About Egypt
Egypt is said to have different tourist super-sites. Each has its own flavor.
Surprisingly, or perhaps not, most of these tourist areas do not depend on ancient monument to sustain them. These super-sites are:

Cairo
Cairo, the capital of Egypt has everything. It has great hotels, entertainment, restaurants and all manner of monuments form throughout the history of Egypt. It offers the entry point for most people visiting Egypt and has bowling allies and several golf courses to choose from. There are many Places of interest like the Egyptian museum of paranoiac monuments, The three Pyramids of Giza, sphinx& Solar boat museum, Ruins of Memphis (ancient capital of Paranoiac Egypt), Old Cairo, famous churches like St. Sergius and the Hanging Church, The Coptic museum, The Citadel of Salah El Din Mohamed Ali, Alabaster Mosque, the Islamic museum, Khan El Khalili bazaar, sound & Light shows at the pyramids.

ALEXANDRIA
When the 25-year-old Macedonian conqueror Alexander the Great arrived in Egypt in 332 BC, he realized that he needed a capital for his newly conquered Egyptian kingdom and that, to link it with Macedonia, it would have to be located on the coast. At a small fishing village called Rhakotis, he founded his city, gave orders to build it and promptly departed. He never saw his new metropolis.
After Alexander's death in 323 BC, Egypt fell to a Macedonian general named Ptolemy who had been present at the foundation of Alexandria. He made it his new capital and founded a dynasty that lasted until 30 BC. The first Ptolemies busily set about adorning their city. They encouraged scholarship and under their rule Alexandria became a haven and refuge for intellectuals. They also built the lighthouse on the island of Pharos, one of the Seven Great Wonders of the ancient world.
Modern Alexandria really dates from the early 19th century and the reign of Muhammad Ali, who was responsible for introducing cotton and for building the Mahmudiyyah Canal. This once more linked Alexandria to the hinterland, forcing Egypt to look not only towards the Mediterranean again, &but beyond it, to Europe. The later 19th century witnessed the creation of extensive wealth in the cotton trade and a steady influx of Greeks, Italians, French and English, who turned Alexandria into a pseudo-European city, complete with wide, grid-planned streets, foreign schools, clubs, restaurants, casinos, businesses and banks.
Now, Alexandria is the second largest city in Egypt. Set on the shores of the Mediterranean, it has long been a popular holiday spot, a refuge from landlocked Cairo's searing summer heat...

OASIS
THE OASES-PEARLS OF THE DESERT...
"Just like little stars in a golden universe..."
The very word "Oasis" conjures a string of images - swirling sands, blue veiled Tuaregs, mirages, the thirsty caravan stumbling into a pool of sweet water set amid swaying palms.
From the Nile, the Sahara stretches 5,000 km westward to the Atlantic. The world's greatest expanse of desert is broken only by dots of green, where human habitation has survived the spread of sands.

Contrary to popular imagination, which sees verdure sprouting incongruously from dunes, oases generally lie in rocky lands where wind and time have scratched out vast depressions whose depths allow natural underground aquifers to reach the surface.
Since at least 5000 BC man has been exploiting nature's gifts in this curve of which retains its distinct culture and language...
