Egypt’s fascinating History
With Egypt’s fascinating history that reaches back to the dawn of civilization, Egypt is considered the oldest travel destination on earth!
The country is a vast desert divided by the life-giving Nile River, which flows from the country’s southern boundary past the capital Cairo to empty into the Mediterranean sea. Most of the nation’s more than 84 million inhabitants occupy the fertile Nile Valley.
Egypt’s temples and pyramids have captured the imagination of travelers for thousands of years. And it’s landscape is just as mesmerizing. The great Giza Pyramids outside of Cairo are the country’s most iconic attractions, but there are multiple archeological sites to explore up and down the Nile.
The Red Sea coast is known for its coral reefs and beach resorts like Sharm el Sheikh and Hurghada. A trek through the Sahara can lead you to a refreshing freshwater spring oasis. Wherever travels in Egypt takes you, you will encounter unforgettable experiences. Whether shopping for aromatic spices in a local souq, sampling Egyptian food like Tamaya and ful, or listening to morning calls to prayer reverberating through a sprawling metropolis, Egypt is a place that engages all the senses.
