<p>[QUOTE="ancient coin hunter, post: 8219935, member: 87200"]I agree. On my last trip to Egypt I spent three months there, sandwiched between trips to Jordan and Turkey. There is always more to see and I encourage folks to get off the beaten track and observe the monuments and remains which literally are sprinkled all around country - from Siwa Oasis in the Libyan desert to the Valley and Sinai. Some interesting places I visited in addition to the major temples and tombs included Coptos (Qift), Hermopolis Magna (El-Ashmunein), Hermonthis (Armant), Antinopolis (Sheik el-Balad), Chenoboskion (Nag Hammadi), etc. The chronological range was Old Kingdom to Byzantine and Islamic periods.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
