A mystical land bustling with life, sound and visual beauty, Egypt is not just the place for visiting pyramids, monuments and temples, but also a country that offers the perfect climate with brilliant sunshine all year round.
Egypt is a land of ancient civilizations and monumental historical sites. Its history spanning 7,000 years makes it probably one of the oldest vacation spots in the world. Early Greeks, Romans and others journeyed here for leisure and to marvel at the wonders of mankind's earliest triumphs.
The ancient Egyptians established a magnificent and enduring civilization whose achievements have captured the imagination of the world ever since. Egypt cannot forget its glorious past, which contrasts perfectly with all that modern Egypt has to offer - scuba diving in the Red Sea, fine sandy beaches, exclusive nightspots, romantic Nile cruises, 5-star accommodation and a varied and exotic cuisine - making this country a truly unique and fascinating place to visit.
