Explore Ancient Egypt

The images that spring to mind when you think of Egypt probably include pyramids, the Nile, and the Great Sphinx of Giza. However, there is so much more to discover in the land of a great ancient civilization.

The Red Sea is your doorway to a world of underwater wonders, while the Sahara delights travellers with its rock formations and bubbling springs. For the biblical follower, a trip up Mount Sinai proves to be a highly spiritual experience.

If you're looking to embark on a typical tour of Egypt, try cruising down the Nile on a felucca (a traditional wooden sailing boat) or visiting the burial sites of the pharaohs in the Valley of the Kings. For history enthusiasts, there is the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities in Cairo, and for romantics, there are dreamy sunset cruises down the world's longest river.

Interesting Facts:

• Many important household objects and toiletries were invented or used by the ancient Egyptians, including lock and keys, wigs, makeup, deodorants, the toothbrush and toothpaste
• The earliest known wine cellars were discovered in Egypt
• The Egyptian pyramids are the last remaining Ancient Wonder of the World and have received an honorary status in the list of the new Wonders of the World
