Egypt

When it comes to architectural wealth Egypt boasts an embarrassment of riches, the legacy of a history created by ancient Greeks, Romans, Christian and Arab dynasties. The country is a living monument to ancient civilizations, pharaohs and pyramids thousands of years old. Add to this a magnificent landscape including the Nile River, golden deserts and wonders like the Red Sea, with its underwater shipwrecks, vibrantly colored fish and coral. Like the country as a whole, Egypt’s towns are also a dazzling contrast where buildings made out of mud sit next to glittering new skyscrapers, and modern shopping malls next to bustling bazaars. Egypt is a vibrant, exhilarating and welcoming country and if you spend enough time there you are sure to take something beautiful home with you, even if it is just a special memory.
