Kunva 3. There are many interesting place in Egypt, but there are four main interesting places, and they include the Nile River, Cairo, Giza, and Taba. The Nile River is 4,000 miles long from the Mediterranean Sean to its origin, Lake Victoria. The Nile River breaks down into the White Nile River and the Blue Nile River. The Nile River would be an interesting site to visit because it is the longest river in the world. Another place to visit would be Cairo. Cairo is the capital city of Egypt. It has about 12 to 16 million, and a big density of population. Cairo is mainly filled with mosques and temples. A tourist would enjoy going there because of the museums, especially the Egyptian Museum. The Egyptian Museum has a collection of pharaoh statues and artwork of ancient jewels. Giza would be another amazing place to visit. Giza is where the pyramids of ancient Egypt are located. The most fascinating pyramid of all is the Pyramid of Chepos. These pyramids were built more than 4.5 thousand years ago. Giza would be a place tourists would enjoy because the Pyramid of Chepos is one of "the seven wonders of the world." Taba would a very fun place to visit because it is beautiful. Taba is a town located on the border of Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Israel. Taba has numerous sandy beaches, small bays, and lagoons. There are may interesting places you can go from Taba; such as the Pharaon Island and St. Catherine Closter. Tourists would love this place because of its contrasts of the bays and lagoons to the mountains surrounding Taba. Those are four beautiful places a tourist should visit.

Stay aware when you are at a tourists sites on local holidays, because of possible terrorist attacks. Sinai is also very dangerous, so we will avoid it. Be careful when you go off road.
