The land of the Nile is best known for the early civilisation of ancient Egypt. It offers visitors impressive sights such as pyramids, temples, museums and monasteries. But there are many landscapes to be discovered in Egypt with its desert, the Nile and the Red Sea.
The Egyptian capital of Cairo, and Africa’s largest city, extends across both banks of the Nile and, alongside oriental splendour and everyday life, offers grandiose cultural highlights such as the world-famous Egyptian Museum and the Pyramids of Giza.
