luxor is the best place to start , valley of the kings and the valley of the queens then on the other side of the nile there is karnak temple and luxor temple.

then you can get the train up to aswan to see the lake and temples there including the one that was cut up in pieces and moved out of the way of the lake before they built the dam ( abu simble ) the trip through the desert is awsome at night you can see millions of stars in the clear night sky .

then you can travel back down to cairo and see the pyramids and the spinx .

there is so much to see in egypy and these are the ones that i have done twice .

hope you have a great trip and stay safe .

Yeh I will definately be going to check out some of those places all along the nile. I'm hoping to get out west and visit some of the oasis' out there. Didnt they recently find some ancient rock carvings out in that direction?

You have chosen a great time to travel around Egypt, the weather is cooler and there are many active digs going off all around Egypt, discoveries such as the oldest rock art in found in Egypt that you mentioned are now being discovered and cataloged.

I too have traveled around Egypt, Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, Dendra, Abydos and many more places and still have only scratched the surface. So much to see, so little time..
