Egypt
An ancient land of wonder.
Its magnificent monuments, ancient ruins, and mesmerizing deserts make it the ultimate travel destination. You can’t get much closer to Egypt than this. There are few things in this country that can compare to its stunning diversity. Step into the Valley of the Kings, ride a camel back to the Nile, and then watch the sunset over the Red Sea.

HIGHLIGHTS
Pyramids
With its massive temples and sand-covered tombs, Egypt is a must-visit for anyone wanting to see the best. There are numerous ways to get around this country, including walking across Lake Nasser or visiting Luxor’s Valley of the Kings.
Red Sea Coast
The Red Sea’s coast is full of vibrant coral reefs and a deserted beach with nothing but a candle-lit cabin. This is a great place to explore on a multiday trip.
The Nile
The ancient saying "Egypt is the gift of the Nile" is still true: Without the river, there would be no food, no electricity, and no fertile land. The Nile is also the place where visitors can see some of the most stunning ancient monuments.
