Egypt Destination Guide
Why Egypt
Renowned for its history which stretches back over 6000 years, Egypt is a land of mystery and legend. Such a past has left the country with an unequalled collection of ancient monuments and relics. Whilst the Pyramids are, perhaps, the most famous of Egypt’s sights, Roman ruins, Byzantine churches and exquisitely decorated mosques testify to the various cultures that have influenced the country.
Cairo, with the Nile at its heart, is an extraordinary mixture of old and new, providing an endless variety of things to do and see. There is an incredible selection of shopping opportunities from local crafts to designer wear; culture with all manner of monuments and museums and food outlets from Arabic coffee houses and pavement cafés to floating restaurants on the Nile.
Luxor, once the capital of ancient Egypt, lies on the banks of the River Nile. On the east bank are the temples of Luxor and Karnak, whilst on the west bank, in the Valley of the Kings and Queens, are the burial tombs of the Pharaohs and their wives.
The Red Sea area of Egypt can be a great combination of relaxing on beaches, diving, playing golf or visiting the local sights.
