Egypt
Egypt is
famous for its ancient civilizations and
some of the world's most famous monuments,
including the Pyramids and its Great Sphinx.
For thousands
of years, it has been the playground of
emperors and kings, and we hope you will
take the time to find out why.
The southern
city of Luxor contains numerous ancient
artifacts, such as the Karnak Temple and the
Valley of the Kings.
Egypt is
widely regarded as an important political
and cultural nation of the Middle East.
There are also many world famous beaches and
coral reefs in a country that is rich with
history, culture, cuisine, architecture, and
a wide variety of landscapes.
Egypt is
probably the world's oldest civilization
having emerged from the Nile Valley around
3,100 BC.
Egypt is
probably one of the oldest vacation
destinations.
Early Greeks,
Romans, and others went there just for
fun, and to see the wonders of some of
mankind's earliest triumphs.
But Egypt is
much more than Pyramids and monuments. It is
also Red Sea scuba diving, hot night spots,
luxury hotels and five star restaurants.
It is
romantic cruises down the Nile on festive
river boats, a night at the grand opera and
it is a cultural experience like none you
have ever experienced.
Egypt is a
land bustling with life, sound, visual
beauty and excitement. More than anything
else, we want you to think of Egypt as fun.
Khan El Khalili Bazaars are full of shops,
in this district which are also legendary
for fine brassware, copper, perfumes,
leather, silver, gold, and antiques.
Then continue to visit the Citadel of Salah
Ad Din and Mamluk architectural mosques
surrounding the area.
Then transfer to Coptic Christian and early
Islamic area of
Cairo.
Visit the surrounding remains of what was
once known as Babylon and the first large
mosque ever built of Amr Ibn al As.
