Herode, an old historian and Greek traveler, once wrote about Egypt as "The Gift of the Nile". Egypt is known for the pyramids, the Sphinx, Luxor, and the Nile. The pharoes, the Greeks, the Romans, the Arabs, the Turks and the British have governed Egypt at one time and each has left their mark.
Mud and brick villas are located at the edge of the ruins. The locals that work the land still use the same tools as their predecessors. They wear long clothes that cover their entire body.
Cairo the capital is an overpopulated city that suffers from chaotic traffic, where you can find cars of last generation as well as donkey towed carts. Street vendors and the sounds of people praying in mosques flood the city.
The country is filled with amazing treasures. The incredible tombs of the pharoes, the pyramids and the temple of Luxor. Also one can enjoy camel rides through the desert, visit old Cairo, bathe in the warm waters of Sharm El-Sheikh and Dahab or eat some Egyptian cuisine on top of beautiful carpets and pillows by the shores of the Red Sea.
