If you are a WWII history buff, El Alamein, a couple of hours west of Alexandria, is worth the trip. Rommel and Montgomery decisive battle ground. Planes, tanks, and an indoor museum. Lots of cemetery memorials.
if time permits, go over to Jordan, and visit Petra. Think Raiders of the Lost Ark backdrop. Not a Hollywood set. Should be on everyone's bucket list.
Not even talking about Israel. History. Religion. Worth a vacation by itself. Hopefully in a more peaceful time.

This is not a particualrly good time to play tourist there.
Buy some microwave popcorn and watch mummy movies on the TV.
Find a museum and visit an egypt exhibit.
Cairo is neither clean, nor like Hollywood portrays.

Yes, thank you for your reminders.. Probably, I'll be postponing my trip due to the trip advisory that I read yesterday... I hope everything will be fine there!

Pyramids and the Sphinx, just on the western edge of Cairo. Cairo Museum. Also buy cheap wholesale small glass figurines to huge chandeliers (they will ship) at the Asfour Glass Works. Alexandria, drive El Cornish, on the Mediterranean. Much like Chicago Lake Shore Drive. New Library in Alexandria (the old library burned down - it was in your history books). Sharm El Sheikh resort on the south tip of the Sinai. There are riverboat cruses on the Nile, Go from the southern part all the way to Cairo. The valley of the Kings. If time pemits, some of the other pyramids, such as the stepped pyramid and the red pyramid. Inquire at your hotels about other places. Cairo Marriott Hotel and Palace. Palace build for the opening of the Suez Canel. Several other Palaces.
