Egypt

Although famed as the cradle of civilization, Egypt is also one of the world's oldest vacation spots. For 3,000 years people have flocked here to enjoy the year-round sunshine, warm hospitality, incredible value for money and convenient proximity to Europe. The country's biggest attractions are the astounding temples and relics of Egyptian antiquity. The pyramids of Giza are still magnificent thousands of years on from construction, and even though its nose is out of joint, the inscrutable Sphinx retains its beguiling quality. Although looted by grave robbers and over-zealous archaeologists over the centuries, the wealth of treasures rescued from the pyramids and exhibited in Cairo's spectacular Museum of Antiquities is one of the most important collections of ancient artifacts on earth.

Egyptian life has always centered on the Nile, the source of life and irrigation the vast majority of the population. Today feluccas (traditional dhows) offer short pleasure trips from Cairo while cruise ships travel between Luxor and Aswan, allowing visitors to spectate on the peaceful rhythms of traditional Egyptian life. Quite simply Egypt is a spellbinding destination offering visitors a spectacular portfolio of sights and sounds ranging from the ancient splendour of the temples to the contemporary pleasures of diving and cruising.
