Discover Egypt
No country on earth boasts a longer recorded history than does Egypt, the eternal "Gift of the Nile" as described by the historian Herodotus. A statement as true today as it has been through the fifty centuries of Egypt's extraordinary history.
Egypt occupies the Northeastern part of Africa and encroaches on Asia in the Sinai Peninsula, covers an area of 1,001,400 square kilometers, with a population of 60 million living mainly on the Nile River's banks. The very existence of the country depends on the slender ribbon of the Nile (the world's longest river).
Egypt named by the Pharaohs, the oldest civilization in the world. How could you miss one third of the world's treasures, which Luxor has? There is so much to do and see all over Egypt – this lovely warm land with its charming and hospitable people. Your one and only problem is likely to be that you may never want to leave.
