My idea of a dream vacation would be to Egypt.  I have always been fascinated with the country, and I would love to see the pyramids.  It is a very fascinating land that is often romanticized in novels and movies, and I would like to see if it is truly as intriguing as the media makes it seem.  I would like to visit the Valley of the Kings, and see Tutankhamen's tomb and treasure.  If I had the opportunity, I would enjoy helping with an excavation, if there were any sites discovered in the area of my travels. 

I think most fascinating of all would be mummies.  It's amazing how the remains of people who lived 3,000 years ago can tell us so much about how they lived.  I would go to the Cairo museum to see all the famous mummies; I think it would be a truly eye opening experience.    

The wildlife in Egypt would also be spectacular to see.  I've only saw a camel once – a baby camel at a petting zoo I visited with my mother.  It would be awesome to see the crocodiles in the Nile river, and the other wild animals that call the banks of the river home. 

When I was little, probably two or three, I remember seeing a show about the sphinx on the Discover Channel.  For weeks after that, I drove my mom and dad crazy with constant questions about Egypt.  Seeing the land I've been fascinated with for so long would be the ultimate vacation.
