Overview:
From iconic pyramids and medieval bazaars, to natural beauty
and a vibrant contemporary culture,
Egypt is a land packed with
captivating treasures.
The pyramids at Giza - the sole survivors of the seven ancient
wonders - the lotus-columned Temples of Luxor and Karnak,
sunrise across the Valley of the Kings, and the sound-and-light
show at the mighty tombs of Abu Simbel have thrilled visitors
for centuries.
Egypt's natural assets are equally as potent, with the white
desert's wind-polished rock formations, the iron-clad mountains
of the Sinai, and the gleaming underwater landscapes of the Red
Sea.
A pulsing modern Arab state throbs beneath the surface, and,
ultimately, this country is best understood not so much under
the shadow of its great monuments, splendid though they are, but
in the call to prayer at sunset, in the chatter of hooves on
tarmac in a rural village, or tea and talk with Egypt's
garrulous residents in a random coffeehouse.
