No holiday in Egypt is complete without a trip to the iconic pyramids, one of the true wonders of the world. December is the perfect time to visit, as temperatures are milder and you can wander around these giant stone structures all day without the blazing summer heat. They're close to the busy capital city of Cairo, which is worth exploring, and you can also take scenic tours down the River Nile.
