Default Which Lens Sould I Buy
I am traveling to Egypt soon and I am looking for a good landscape lens. I own a Nikon D5000. Does anyone have any input?

What kind of focal length are you looking for? What do you currently have? What do you plan on shooting?

I'd say get an ultrawide lens of some kind. (But that's because I've seen this thread on fredmiranda by a Leica M9 shooter who used the Zeiss ZM 18/4 for his wide shots to spectacular effect). The equivalent focal length to get that kind of coverage on your camera would be 12mm.
