It goes without saying that no visit to Egypt would be complete without stops at the Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, the Luxor Temple or the giant seated statues at Abu Simbel. According to Forbes Traveler, lesser-known but just as amazing attractions include the Valley Temple of Khpehren at Giza; Deir el Medina, a workman's village at the Valley of the Kings; and the Hanging Church in the heart of Old Cairo. Several Egyptian resorts offer a convenient base to explore the many cultural and historic sights that this fascinating African country has to offer. - The Ritz-Carlton Sharm El Sheikh resort is located on the Sinai Peninsula, between the Red Sea and Mt. Sinai. The Sharm El Sheikh region has long been a popular tourist attraction, known for its scenic location between the mountains and the sea, water sports, golf courses, nightlife and cultural attractions such as Bedouin settlements and local artwork.
