Ultimate Egypt Google Map Legend (Things to Do, Photo Spots & More!)

From TheTravelTinker.com, this is your lifetime-access, plug-and-play map for Egypt. Think pyramids at sunrise, feluccas gliding past palm-dotted islands, pharaohs’ tombs glowing with colour, temple columns like stone forests, souqs buzzing with brass and spice, mint tea in hidden courtyards, and Nile sunsets you’ll replay on the flight home. Open it in Google Maps and you’ve got a local-level guide in your pocket.

Why you’ll love it

Save time, money and hours of research. Open Google Maps on your phone, tablet or desktop, and go. Request the map once, get all future updates automatically. (Perfect for first-timers doing Cairo–Luxor–Aswan, and for return visitors adding Saqqara, Dahshur, Esna or Abu Simbel.)

What’s inside

Organised into easy layers with exact pins and short, friendly notes:

• Top Attractions across Egypt (Cairo, Giza, Luxor, Aswan) — Great Pyramid & Sphinx, Egyptian Museum (Tahrir), Luxor Temple, Karnak, Philae on Agilkia Island, Abu Simbel, the Unfinished Obelisk, Nubian Museum and more. 📍These are the big hitters everyone talks about—for good reason.

• Temples, Tombs & Ancient Sites — Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut’s extraordinary terraces at Deir el-Bahari, Edfu (Horus), Kom Ombo’s crocodile tales, Medinet Habu, Abydos & Dendera for colour-rich reliefs. 🛕 Expect goosebumps.

• Photo Spots & Viewpoints — Giza panorama ridge, Luxor Temple at blue hour, hot-air balloons over the West Bank, Aswan’s Old Cataract terrace, and that classic felucca-and-granite boulders scene. 📸

• Hidden Gems — Bayt al-Suhaymi courtyards, Tentmakers’ Street, artisan villages on Luxor’s West Bank, Elephantine’s quiet lanes, Esna’s restored old souq. Little effort, big “how is this so empty?” reward.

• Restaurants, Cafés & Lounges — From heritage cafés like El-Fishawy to Nile-side sundowner terraces. We flag the vibe, signature dishes and when to book.

• Markets, Shops & Essentials — Khan el-Khalili, Aswan Spice Market, fair-trade craft outlets, plus practical supermarkets for road-trip supplies.

• Free (or Nearly-Free) Things To Do — Al-Muizz Street wanders, mosque courtyards, riverfront strolls, museum free gardens and viewpoints we actually use.

• Hikes & Nature Trails — Wadi Degla’s desert canyon on Cairo’s edge, island botanical gardens in Aswan, West Bank farm tracks in Luxor. 🥾 Easy, photogenic, close to town.

• Public Toilets & Drinking Fountains — Pinned at visitor centres and within major sites so beach-day calm translates to desert-day calm. 🚻💧

• Seasonal Picks — Winter sun on the Nile, spring shoulder-season temple days, summer pool-and-siesta tactics, and (if you’re keen) Abu Simbel’s twice-yearly sunrise alignment. 🌼🌞 (22 Feb & 22 Oct.)

Plus: our favourite spots for coffee, brunch and dinner, bucket-list musts for first-timers, and easy wins for return visitors. We also mark handy transport points (airports, railway stations, ferries, cruise docks) to make the classic Cairo–Luxor–Aswan flow painless.
