"Boasting one of the oldest civilisations in the world, Egypt is the crossroads where Europe, Africa and Asia meet.
For over 8,000 years the country has held visitors spellbound with its culture, historic importance and beauty, not to mention its year-round sunshine, miles of sandy beaches and warm crystal-clear waters.
Covering an area of about one million square kilometres, Egypt is bordered to the north by the Mediterranean, with the Red Sea to the east, Libya to the west and Sudan to the south.
Famed as the land of the Pharaohs, Egypt has attracted a host of foreign visitors including Greek philosopher Homer, Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Moses and the Holy Family – all of whom have contributed to the rich legacy of culture, art and architecture for the modern day traveller to enjoy.
Don't miss Mount Sinai. It’s where the Pharaohs first mined turquoise and copper and Alexander the Great launched his campaign to invade Persia (now Iran). But Mount Sinai has for the last 15 centuries been famed as the place where God spoke to Moses and provided him with the Ten Commandments. If you are thinking about following in the footsteps of Moses, the 7,498-foot climb takes about three hours to complete. Along the way you’ll see religious relics from centuries of pilgrims who have journeyed along the same route. As you near the summit you will find a natural amphitheatre in which it is alleged the 70 wise men waited while God spoke with Moses. On the summit itself you’ll find a small chapel and a mosque.
