Tour Egypt
Most people who think of Egypt think of antiquities, but Egypt offers much more. Certainly it is a prime location to see our great heritage from the ancient world, including Pyramids and wonderful temples, but it is also part of the Holy Land, and tours to Christian and other religious monuments are popular.

Many visitors believing they have seen the best, often get a shock when later finding out how much remains undiscovered by them. But with more than 90% of all attractions lined up along the river Nile, Egypt is one big invitation to come and visit. |

Packing - Egypt
Richer in history than perhaps any other country in the world, Egypt, with
its pyramids, temples, and the mighty sphinx is a place that makes people
dream like no other in the world. Undeniably the main draw in Egypt is the
majesty of its history, and the many awe inspiring monuments that dot its
historic land, but there are many other attractions in Egypt that are equally
spectacular: The mighty River Nile that carves its way through the centre
of the desert; the beautiful Red Sea Coast that offers some superb beach
resorts and some of the best diving in the World; Cairo, the vibrant capital
city, where modernity reflects the ancient, and amongst the twisting back
streets there are still places where business is done in the same way as
it was centuries ago; And the Mediterranean Coast in the North, where you
can relax on the beaches in between exploring the sights of empires long
dead.
Lonely
Planet - Egypt
In the 5th century BC Herodotus wrote of Egypt that 'nowhere are there so
many marvellous things...nor in the world besides are to be seen so many
things of unspeakable greatness' - and not too much has changed. The Sphinx,
the Nile, ancient Luxor, the pyramids - Egypt's scope is glorious.

MidEast - Egypt
Egypt is still the number one tourist destination in the Middle East, and
with good reason. From its world-class scuba diving, to the incredible once
in a lifetime pyramids, to the lull of desert camping, the country has everything
a trip should contain.
