Pyramids, Giza: Everybody no matter how old or young has seen the Pyramids of Giza hundreds of times, either on the cover of an Encyclopedia, a fancy notebook, a diary, a poster in movies or in documentaries. When somebody asks you to name the wonders of the world, the first words to come off your lips are the "Pyramids of Giza". No structure is more significant in world history and none so awe-inspiring.

Al Montazah Palace Gardens, Alexandria: One of the flag symbols of tourism in Alexandria. The palace is known to have been built by a refuge known as Abbas Hilmy who built the palace as a summer residence. The palace is primarily off limits particularly for tourists and travelers but the surrounding garden areas are full of spots ideal for picnics and evening time-outs. The gardens, courtesy of their location on a cliff are bound by a beach which is relatively messy but is frequented by tourists visiting the gardens.

Karnak Temple, Luxor: Not many visual wonders and splendid structures in the world can remotely match up to the mythical, structural and captivating greatness of the Karnak temple. Just walking around this gigantic structural complex populated with pylons, tombs, pillar and statues is visceral and forces visitors to gawk.
