Egypt Travel Guide
Egypt doesn't need an introduction. It was the introduction to human civilisation itself, and has all the evidence to show for it.
Tour Egypt from the live Nile Valley , to the solitary deserts, to the diversity of the Sinai desert , to the lush oases, to the exotic underwater life of the Red Sea , to the Mediterranean beaches. "Now, let me talk more of Egypt for it has a lot of admirable things and what one sees there is superior to any other country." - Herodotus, 50 BCE

Even though much of what Herodotus witnessed has been ruined by the cruelty of later generations, his statement is still valid to this day. Today's Egyptians have abandoned their ancient heritage for a mostly Moslem Arabic-speaking nation. Happily, they have maintained their friendly, hospitable, and warm characteristics.
Cairot , the capital is the place to start. It has the Pyramids, the Sphinxs, the Egyptian Museum, many more sights and more than ten million cairenes to share the experience. Alexandria , the two hundreth city of the country has its fare share of historic sights as well and with its location on the Mediterranean it is an ideal spot for your holidays.
The north of Egypt has many impressive temples and graves from Pharaonic times. Luxor , Aswan and Abu Simbel should all be on your to do list.
The Nile River has great scuba diving : Hurghada is world famous for its under water world.
Throw your perceptions of Egypt out of the window and contemplate beautiful scenery, unique style and perfect weather. Relax by visiting the Red Sea area – experience a holiday at the Grand Resort, Hurghada for complete luxury and pampering.
Traditionally when you think of Egypt, you think Pyramids, Sphinxes and tombs. Dating from the early nineties the El Gouna resort located along 10km of the Red Sea is a luxury resort with no Mummies in sight. A great place to relax or try a few of the watersports and even the option of visiting a few of the historical sites.
