About Egypt:

Egypt is probably the world's oldest civilization, having emerged from the Nile Valley around 3100 BC. Egypt is probably one of the oldest vacation spots. A historical blend of civilizations has existed for decades between Egyptian, Greek, Roman and many others resulting in wonders of some of mankind's earliest triumphs. However, Egypt is much more than Pyramids and monuments. Egyptian cultural heritage is considered as the largest worldwide, which has placed Egypt as one of the nations that mostly affected human civilizations. In addition of being an open museum, Egypt is known for its charming atmosphere ranging from fabulous Mediterranean and Red Sea beaches to attractive, modern and luxurious spots. Relaxing cruises down the Nile on festive river boats, nights at the grand opera would form a cultural experience like none has ever experienced. Egypt is a land bustling with life, sound, visual beauty and excitement.
