It is the legendary land of the Pharaohs, the Pyramids, and the gift of The Nile. Yes, Egypt is one of Africa's largest countries in terms of size and people, but it the largest in the continent—and probably in the World—in terms of culture and history.

Egypt has been for centuries the primary destination of adventure seekers and lovers of ancient, bygone eras carefully kept in the thousands of monuments, some as colossal as the Pyramids at Giza, or some as legendary like the famed Alexandria Lighthouse, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. A visit to Egypt is stepping into a time machine that would take visitors to human civilization's cradle.

But not all is rich history and mummies (though they are quite seldom seen!). Egypt is home to some of Africa's most fashionable resorts, like World-renowned Sharm El Sheikh and Hurghada, or bustling metropolises like Cairo, or its more refined, composed sister, Alexandria, with its many shopping malls, cafes, promenades, and public parks. Visiting Egypt is like taking the best of both worlds, old and new.
