Each of the year seasons has its own picnics that suit its weather conditions, especially in Egypt, which has the ingredients to suit different weather fluctuations, between intense heat and intense cold. We show you some of the winter outings that make cold weather enjoyable.

Giza Pyramids

* Giza Pyramids: It is well known that visiting the pyramids and the Sphinx is one of the most important archaeological tourist attractions in Egypt. It is visited by tourists from all over the world to experience the feeling of greatness and history in front of one of the Seven Wonders of the World. However, winter in that region is a special pleasure, not only because it is an open place and the vast desert atmosphere burning in the summer, but the mild sunlight in it at that time.

Fayoum

*Fayoum: It is considered one of the most important tourist governorates associated with the winter; it contains elements that combine the rural environment, villages operating in agriculture and green areas. Between the arid desert that covers hundreds of kilometers, there are natural treasures such as Wadi Hitan protected areas and bones dating back to 40 million years ago, In addition, Fayoum is famous due to the existence of Lake Qarun, one of the most important natural lakes in Egypt and the world. It also has Roman and Coptic antiques, such as; churches engraved in the mountains.

Siwa

* Siwa: It is unlike any place you find in Egypt. You can enjoy relaxing in the hot springs and a natural Jacuzzi, which is a lot more tranquilizing. The locals there are extremely friendly and they will do everything they can to make sure visitors are comfortable. The trip is expensive but totally worth it.

*Aswan: It is definitely a unique holiday destination in Egypt. The city is rich with Nubian culture and beautiful scenes of nature with several museums and temples. It’s also a great place to learn about Ancient Egypt.

Nuba

The best way to enjoy Aswan is to meet with the locals and the right people and places to know more about the wonderful region and it’s past. “West Suhail” in Aswan is the Nubian region famous for its colorful old houses. Throughout this region, Nubians embodied the ancient Nubian heritage in a simple and wonderful way.
