Egypt is one of the most choosable destinations in the world. First of all it is liked by the history fans as the country boasts the largest collection of Pharaonic, Greco-Roman, Coptic, Islamic monuments. All year round mild climate, the Nile river, the Mediterranean and Red Sea beaches, vast miles of desert and secluded oasis, friendly and hospitable people, natural beauty and a vibrant contemporary culture – all these characterize Egypt fully. If you prefer the Nile River Cruises you will be able to see the Egyptian village life with clay huts, manually ploughed fields. Nature lovers will be fascinated by the white desert's wind-polished rock formations, the gleaming underwater landscapes and the exotic underwater life of the Red Sea, the iron-clad mountains of the Sinai. Travel in Egypt is a blend of history and culture, adventure and leisure.
