Egypt
Egypt welcomes you with its mighty Nile and magnificent monuments, the beguiling desert and lush delta, and with its long past and welcoming, story-loving people.
With sand-covered tombs, austere pyramids and towering Pharaonic temples, Egypt brings out the explorer in all of us. Visit the Valley of the Kings in Luxor, where Tutankhamuns tomb was unearthed, and see the glittering finds in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. Hop off a Nile boat to visit Dendara, Edfu or one of the other waterside temples, cross Lake Nasser to see Ramses IIs masterpiece at Abu Simbel, or trek into the desert to find the traces of Roman trading outposts. You never know your donkey might stumble across yet another find, for that is the way many previous discoveries were made.
That empty beach with nothing but a candle-lit cabin, and a teeming coral reef offshore: theyre waiting for you in Egypt. The coast along the Red Sea has a rugged desert beauty above the waterline and a psychedelic vibrancy below rewarding to explore on a multiday outing to one of the globes great dives or on an afternoons snorkelling jaunt along a coral wall. There is even more space and just as much beauty in Egypts vast deserts. Whether youre watching the sun rise between the beautiful shapes of the White Desert or the shimmering horizon from the comfort of a hot spring in Siwa Oasis, Egypts landscapes are endlessly fascinating.
The old saying that Egypt is the gift of the Nile still rings true: without the river there would be no fertile land, no food and a lot less electricity. Although peoples lives are increasingly physically detached from the water, the Nile still exerts a uniquely powerful role. Luckily for visitors, the river is also the perfect place from which to see many of the most spectacular ancient monuments, which is one reason why a Nile cruise remains such a popular way to travel.
Egypt once ruled an empire from Al Qahira Cairo, the City Victorious. The metropolis is packed with soaring minarets and medieval schools and mosques, some of the greatest architecture of medieval Islam. At the same time, Egypts native Christians, the Copts, have carried on their traditions that in many respects such as the churchs liturgical language and the traditional calendar link back to the time of the pharaohs. Tap into the history in Cairos early churches and in remote desert monasteries.
