Egypt is filled to the brim with wonders - ancient and modern. Everywhere you turn, the eye is dazzled and your heart captured.

The world’s longest river, the Nile, runs through Egypt. Cairo, the capital, ranks second in the most densely populated cities in Africa. (Gaza in Palestine is the first)

Egypt has a mystical and timeless appeal that even the ancient Greeks and Romans were awed by them. From the fascinating sights of the Pharoahs, on the banks of the Nile at Luxor to the glorious beaches of the Red Sea at Sharm El Sheikh, this is a land of great contrast, where ancient and modern life exist side by side.

Past civilisations have left an indelible impression on the landscape creating what today must rank as one of the most spectacular sightseeing destinations in the world.
