  • Luxor

    This city in southern Egypt has been described as an open-air museum as it is the home to the ruins of the temple complexes of Karnak and Luxor. Immediately opposite, across the Nile, are the Valleys of the Kings and Queens which mean that Luxor plays host to thousands of tourists every year. A visit to Luxor provides the chance to see how tourism has shaped the economy and livelihoods of the local people as well as offering some spectacular archaeological exhibits for geography students. 

  • Cairo

    This is Egypt's capital city and the largest in the Arab world and as such is the centre of the region's political, religious and cultural life. As this is one of the most densely populated cities in the world there are no end of human geographical case studies to be made. How do various religions interact? How do Egyptians use the Nile? How is it possible to build such a populous city within such a stark geographical landscape? It is up to your students to discover the answers.
