Egypt
may be known for its deserts, but some of its land is lush
with beaches, as the country borders the Mediterranean Sea,
between Libya and the Gaza Strip, and the Red Sea north of
Sudan. It also controls the Sinai Peninsula, a bridge of land
that connects Africa and the remainder of the Eastern Hemisphere,
and the Suez Canal, a sea link between the Mediterranean Sea
and Indian Ocean.
Although the country is prone to large influxes
of refugees, it’s a culturally rich land with many customs
that tourists can watch and even take part in. Nowhere is
this more rewarding or apparent than walking, literally, through
the country’s deep history. From the Giza Pyramids to
monuments that dot the Nile River, Egypt

Egypt Tours Tours for individuals and groups
offers an exotic portal to the past. Check
out any one of its many museums and you’ll likely spot
a papyrus roll that dates back thousands of years—to
when the first set of alphabets, hieroglyphics, was invented.
Yet, for all its historic wonders, Egypt still embraces modern
day technologies in fast-paced cities like Cairo. So if it’s
an eclectic mix of yesterday and tomorrow that you crave,
then Egypt should be your destination of choice.
