| One of the world’s greatest civilizations , ruled by ancient dynasties dating back to Biblical times from as early as 3000 BC, Egypt has it all. One of the most visited countries anywhere in the world, ancient Egypt had it own rich culture and religious beliefs. From the famed Pyramids of Giza, the unique final resting places of the rich whose architecture and symmetry have defied time and civilization, to the Valley of the Kings, containing rock hewn Royal Tombs of Egypt’s Pharaohs, to grand ancient temples of Karnak which took nearly 1500 years to build, to Luxor, one of Egypt's most visited cities, full of attractions and monuments including the beautiful Temple of Luxor, associated with Tutankhamen, Ramses II and Alexander the Great, a visit to Egypt is a step back in time to a civilization so rich and so varied it actually defies description. Located on the north eastern tip of Africa, Egypt is bordered by the Mediterranean Sea to the north, Libya lies to the west, Sudan to the south, while to the East Egypt borders Israel and the Gaza strip and the Red Sea. Its most important feature is the River Nile which bisects Egypt from North to South and makes possible the intense economic activity that takes place in its highly fertile valley in great contrast to the rest of the huge country which is mainly a desert plateau.. .Egypt has a population of over 76.0 million which is almost 100% of Egyptian stock. Cairo is the capital city. Islam is Egypt’s main religion commanding a following of over 95% of the population. Arabic is the official language while English and French are also spoken by the elite. The official currency of Egypt is the Egyptian Pound . Visitors to Egypt invariably go on a Nile Cruise, the single most preferred method of enjoying the varied sights that this wonderful land has to offer.
