Egypt
Overview
Egypt is one of the world’s most extraordinary destinations, where ancient wonders meet breathtaking natural beauty. This timeless land is famed for its iconic pyramids of Giza, the last surviving wonder of the ancient world, where visitors can climb the weathered stones and marvel at millennia of history. Beyond the pyramids, Egypt offers endless adventures – from diving in the crystal-clear waters of the Red Sea among vibrant coral reefs to stargazing under the vast desert skies that have guided travelers for centuries. With its rich pharaonic heritage, bustling bazaars, and Nile River cruises past ancient temples, Egypt presents an unforgettable journey through history, culture, and stunning landscapes that have captivated explorers for ages.
