The diverse country of Egypt offers something for everyone, from the history of the Pharaohs and the Pyramids, to the tranquillity of the crystal blue waters of Sinai protected by kilometers of white sandy desert. In contrast, the lush vegetation along the nile, the lifeline of the Egyptian people, can be enjoyed on a relaxing Nile cruise or felucca ride. Egypt boasts year round sunshine with very little rain.

The coastline stretches for many miles and offers some of the most spectacular reefs in the world. No country on earth boasts a longer recorded history than does Egypt, the Eternal 'Gift of the Nile', as described by the Historian Herodotus, a statement as true as today as it has been through seventy centuries of Egypt's extraordinary history. Egypt is probably one of the oldest vacation spots. Early Greeks, Romans and others went there just for fun and to see the wonders of some of mankind's earliest triumphs. But Egypt is much more than Pyramids and monuments. It is also Red Sea scuba diving, hot nightspots, luxury hotels and five star restaurants. It is romantic cruises down the Nile on festive riverboats, a night at the grand opera and a cultural experience like none you have ever experienced. Egypt is a land bustling with life, sound, beauty and excitement.
