General Information
Named as the eternal country in the world, Egypt is the dramatic state of the meeting of the most gorgeous face of the past with the new face of modern world. Within its past of 5,000 years, especially in the era of pharaohs, Egypt is a country making great contributions to the world-wide mythology, art and science. Standing as the country of the first hieroglyph, Egypt has the best and the most significant treasury of the Ancient era by being home to hieroglyphes, pyramids, mummies, mythes, temples, monuments especially gathered at the Nile Delta and grand museums.
The name of country is identified with the ancient mythes. Ramses, Cleopatra, Nefertiti and Tutankhamun legends taking root from the country culture are the known components of the world culture. The pyramids from the pharaoh era are the most impressive attractions. In addition to the 3 grand pyramids in Al Giza, 70 big and little pyramids are found in the Nile Delta.The Grand Sphinx with its human head and lion corpus, Colossi of Memnon which is the place of the funeral of Amenhotep III, the temples at Karnak, mummies situated at Kings' Valley, Egypt Museum at Cairo and the Grand Museum at Giza are the reflections of the rich Egypt history.
As a natural consequence of being placed at the Nile Delta between the Mediterranean and Red Sea, the country is well developed in terms of river cruises, beach and sea tourism. The sea convenient for windsurfing, sailing, fishing and yacht tourism, the beaches along Mediterranean and Red Sea, the mountains in the Sinai Peninsula all are from the modern entertainment life of Egypt.
Boating by Feluccas on the Nile River, travelling Sinai Peninsula on the back of a camel or making the most of sea, sun and sand at one of the beaches of Alexandria along the Mediterranean coast can be your choices for having a great time. Egypt do not endeavour much to captivate the person.
