Between Cairo and Luxor are sites most visitors never reach: the rock tombs of Beni Hassan, Akhenaten's capital at Amarna, the temples of Abydos and Dendera, and the White and Red Monasteries near Sohag. The drives are long. The payoff is having the sites largely to yourself.
Best seller The Seti I temple with its king list, and a zodiac ceiling cleaned back to colour.
Middle Kingdom tombs cut into a cliff, with wrestling scenes on the walls.
A whole city built and abandoned inside twenty years, still readable on the ground.
Fifth-century Coptic monasteries built from the stone of pharaonic temples.
