Egypt’s epic landscapes and ancient architecture are enough to bring out the adventurer in anyone. Located in North Africa, Egypt is bound by the Mediterranean and Red Seas, with the mighty River Nile creating a fertile green valley across the Sahara desert. Cairo, the largest city and historic capital, is the home of the mysterious pyramids of Giza – one of the few remaining Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Various sound and light shows add to the spectacle, with dazzling laser displays and captivating commentary. The historic discoveries continue at the Valley of the Kings in Luxor, where Tutankhamun’s tomb was unearthed and monuments from ancient Thebes scattered throughout like an open-air museum. At the Ras Mohamed National Park, you can experience some of the best coral reef snorkeling or scuba diving in the world. Around 1,000 species of fish can be seen amongst the park’s waters, including whale sharks, hammerheads and manta rays. A wide range of hotels, resorts and apartments can be found in larger cities like Cairo, Alexandria and Port Said.
