The riches of Egypt are all the more stunning to experience firsthand. To walk through temples Cleopatra once did, to stand at the foot of the imposing pyramids at Giza, 5,000 years old and a marvel to behold, and to admire the craft of Tutankhamen's treasures in Cairo's museum -- Egypt is truly worthy to be on anyone's bucket list. And to understand Egypt is a living museum, whose treasures are continually being unearthed, is to visit a destination whose mysteries and rich history continue to be unveiled a bit more with each visit.
