Egypt

Dear readers,

It gives me immense pleasure to give you a glimpse of Egypt – a land of deserts, mummies, pyramids and pharaohs. Located in the northeastern part of Africa, Egypt is the cradle of modern civilisation. It is completely mesmerising with its eclectic mix of Old World charm of the land of pharaohs, world-famous monuments and a

potpourri of leisure and adventure activities for the modern-day tourist. One of the finest monuments is the Luxor Temple, which is dedicated to the great god Amun-Re, his wife Mut and their son Khonsu (the moon god) – together representing the Theban triad. Built largely by Amenhotep III and Ramesses II, it is said that the temple's purpose was to provide a suitable setting for the rituals of various festivals, the most important being the festival of Opet.
Aswan, Egypt's sunniest city and ancient frontier town located about 81 miles south of Luxor, has a distinctively African atmosphere. Small enough to walk around and graced with the most beautiful setting on the Nile, the pace of life here is slow and relaxing. The Nubian Museum in Aswan is an attraction, too. It is one of the best-presented museums in the world because of its splendid yet clear style of exhibit. The museum is a delight with its unique design, housing the fantastic collections unearthed from the archaeological excavations during the Nubian Campaign.
In Aswan, the Nile is most beautiful, flowing through amber desert and granite rocks, around emerald islands covered in palm groves and tropical plants. Excursion on the Nile is one of the most popular activities amongst tourists.
A cruise over the Nile River is an experience of eternity. It is the best way to experience the wealth of Egyptian history, culture and architecture. Nile River cruises are part of longer Egypt-tour itineraries, many of which visit the legendary pyramids and Sphinx in Giza, the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities in Cairo and Djoser's Step Pyramid in Sakkara – all must-see Egyptian treasures.
Moving further to The Red Sea, the region where the desert meets the ocean, is truly one of the planet’s most exotic and fascinating natural seascape environments. The Red Sea is located between Asia and Africa region (2642 metres high)
