About Egypt
Egypt is one of the world’s oldest civilisations and remains one
of its most awe-inspiring destinations. From the colossal pyramids
of Giza and the enigmatic Sphinx to the vast temple complexes of
Luxor and Karnak, Egypt is an open-air museum of extraordinary
scale. Beyond its ancient monuments, the country offers the
vibrant chaos of Cairo, the turquoise waters of the Red Sea, and
the serene beauty of the Nile — one of the world’s great river
journeys.
