Egypt

Egypt is one of the most storied places on Earth. Pharaohs mummified in jewel-encrusted tombs beneath mystifying pyramids standing in the middle of the desert have fascinated amateur archeologists for hundreds of years. Known for centuries as the cradle of civilization, Egypt has been successful in creating a presence that is as intriguing and appealing as its past.

Discover the Pharaohs and Pyramids - the last remaining wonders of the world - from the banks of the River Nile. Indulge in the aquatic of the Red Sea or explore the untamed mystery of the deserts.
