Egypt is home to perhaps one of the richest cultural heritages in the world. Along with a wonderful year-round climate and the warmth and hospitality of her people, Egypt is high on many people’s holiday lists. The capital Cairo is the largest city in Africa and is a blend of the exoticism of the East and sophistication of the West. It is a city that never sleeps. Just outside of the city lie the pyramids of Giza, Cheops, Chephren and Mycerinus and are the last remaining of 7 wonders of the ancient world, 4500 years old and still standing majestically on a desert plateau. Further south in the country at Luxor, known as Thebes in ancient times, the Valley of the Kings is where many of the later Pharaohs found their resting place, including that of the boy King Tutankhamun. With the two huge seated statues, the Colossi of Memnon and the temple of Hatshepsut, the only Queen to have ruled over ancient Egypt, Egypt’s history unfolds itself through a myriad of fascinating locations.
