Birding Ancient Egypt with Petra Extension

The only still standing of the classic 7 Wonders are the pyramids of Giza which includes the Cheops pyramid and the Sphinx. Egypt has to be included in a 7 Wonders Birding tour. Additionally, the marvelous Cairo Museum, the valley of the Kings, Luxor, Aswan, and Abu Simbel, plus a cruise on the Nile are must-sees for bucket-listers around the world. If the non-birding spouse has been on your back about that trip to Egypt give him/her this itinerary. Jam-packed with all the best sites, plus a lot of birding for species like Pharaoh Eagle-Owl, Greater Painted Snipe, Nile Valley Sunbird, White-tailed Lapwing, African Skimmer, Sooty Falcon, Cream-colored Courser and Greater Hoopoe-Lark.

The extension to Petra, one of the New 7 Wonders, also gives some birding possibilities with Sinai Rosefinch, Palestine Sunbird, and Fan-tailed Raven as key species.
