2 Geography Egypt, at the northeast corner of Africa on the Mediterranean Sea, is bordered on the west by Libya, on the south by the Sudan, and on the east by the Red Sea and Israel. It is nearly one and one-half times the size of Texas. Egypt is divided into two unequal, extremely arid regions by the landscape's dominant feature, the northward-flowing Nile River.

3 History For almost 30 centuries ancient Egypt was the preeminent civilization in the Mediterranean world. From the great pyramids of the Old Kingdom through the military conquests of the New Kingdom, Egypt s majesty has long entranced archaeologists and historians and created a vibrant field of study all its own: Egyptology. The main sources of information about ancient Egypt are the many monuments, objects and artifacts that have been recovered from archaeological sites, covered with hieroglyphs that have only recently been deciphered. The picture that emerges is of a culture with few equals in the beauty of its art, the accomplishment of its architecture or the richness of its religious traditions.

4 Government Egypt has been a presidency since the 23rd July revolution led by Gamal Abd El Nasser in 1952 when the Free Army Officers' movement overthrew the current regime then and expelled king Farouk who has been known as the king of Egypt and Sudan backed by the British. The government of Egypt is a republic. The president is Abdel Fattah el-sisi. The first Egyptian president in 1953 was Mohamed Naguib who has been a general in the army. Nasser was the second president of Egypt in 1954.

5 Culture The population of Egypt is relatively homogeneous. The overwhelming majority are Arabic-speaking Sunni Muslims. About 6 percent are Christians, who are indistinguishable in other respects from the Muslims. Most of the Christians belong to the Coptic Orthodox Church, the historic church of Egypt, but minorities within the minority are Catholic or Protestant, or derive from the churches of the Levant. There are a few small linguistic minorities, of which the largest is the Nubians, who speak two Nubian languages related to the Nilo-Saharan languages of the Sudan. They represent less than 1 percent of Egypt's population, and are concentrated around Aswan. Other linguistic minorities include a few thousand Berber speakers in Siwa oasis, the easternmost outpost of Berber speech, and the small population of Beja in the eastern desert east of Aswan. All these groups are Muslim.

12 Dahab is located north of Sharm el-sheikh on the Gulf of Aqaba, near the southern tip of Sinai. Dahab turned into a hippie hangout and became something of an alternative resort, mixing cheap accommodation with a laid back lifestyle.

14 Few sites in Egypt are more impressive than Karnak. It is the largest ancient religious site ever built, and represents the combined achievement of many generations of Egyptian builders. The Temple of Karnak actually consists of three main temples, smaller enclosed temples, and several outer temples located about 2.5 kilometers north of Luxor. The Pyramids of Giza, situated in the immediate vicinity of the southwestern suburbs of Cairo are the undisputable top attractions in Egypt. The pyramids at Giza were built over the span of three generations by Khufu, his second reigning son Khafre, and Menkaure. Historical Karnak Pyramids of Giza

16 Historical Valley of the kings Great Spinx The Valley of the Kings is a valley in Egypt where tombs were constructed for the kings and privileged nobles of the New Kingdom. The valley contains 63 tombs and chambers.the royal tombs are decorated with scenes from Egyptian mythology and give clues to the beliefs and funerary rituals of the period. The Great Sphinx is one of the largest and oldest monuments in the world, but basic facts about it, such as who was the model for the face, when it was built, and by whom, are still debated. It is the largest monolith statue in the world although it is considerably smaller than the Pyramids around it.

17 Historical Luxor Temple Temple of Hatshepsut The Luxor Temple is located on the east bank of the River Nile in the ancient city of Thebes. The temple was dedicated to the three Egyptian gods Amun, Mut, and Chons. The ancient temple was the center of the festival of Opet, Thebes most important festival. The Mortuary temple of Hatshepsut, who ruled Egypt from around 1479 BC until her death in 1458 BC, is situated beneath the cliffs at Deir el Bahari on the west bank of the Nile. It is a colonnaded structure, which was designed and implemented by Senemut, the royal architect of Hatshepsut, to serve for her posthumous worship and to honor the glory of Amun.

18 Natural Cleopatra's baths Tanis A cavern in Cleopatra Beach in Marsa Matrouh served as the royal bath for Cleopatra according to legend. Inside the cave, there is a skylight and a pool but what makes it special is the way the water flows into and out of the cave from the waves of the Mediterranean. Tanis was inaccurately depicted as having been destroyed in a sand storm and buried until 1936 when it was discovered by a German expedition outside Cairo. In fact, Tanis was the site of numerous archaeological digs beginning in the 19th century, involving Flinders Petrie and Auguste

19 Natural The Valley of Maadi and Hulwan Halaib and Shalatin Triangle On the periphery of Cairo to the south there are four rarely visited valleys or Wadi as they are called in Arabic. Three of which are in Hulwan: Wadi Houf, Wadi Gerawi, and Wadi Risheid, while the fourth,wadi Degla is in Maadi, dubbed Egypt s Grand Canyon. The Halaib and Shalatin Triangle are mostly visited by the most adventurous, who really want something different. The area is home to two major protectorates: Wadi Al-Jemal National Park, the third largest wadi in the Eastern Desert draining into the Red Sea, and one of the best vegetated; and Elba National Park, located in the southern eastern part of the Eastern Desert.

20 Natural White Desert Nile River Cruise Bulbous white rocks in strange shapes and sizes rise from the desert about 28 miles north of the town of Farafra in western Egypt. Their appearance isn t due to some avantgarde stone sculptor, but rather thanks to the wind. The Nile River has been Egypt s lifeline since ancient times and there is no better way to trace the passage of Egypt s history than to follow the course of the Nile. Almost all Egyptian cruise ships travel the Luxor-Aswan route which is safe, scenic and terminates at two of Egypt s most important towns.

21 Way out west, Siwa is the tranquil tonic to the hustle of Egypt's cities. This gorgeous little oasis, surrounded by date palm plantations and numerous freshwater springs, is one of the Western Desert's most picturesque spots. The Red Sea, off the coast of Egypt, is one of the most beautiful places in the world to go diving. The waters of the Red Sea are renowned for their spectacular visibility and features some of the most exotic seascapes Natural Siwa Oasis Red Sea Reef

22 Unique Cleopatra's baths Swimming with Dolphins A cavern in Cleopatra Beach in Marsa Matrouh served as the royal bath for Cleopatra according to legend. Inside the cave, there is a skylight and a pool but what makes it special is the way the water flows into and out of the cave from the waves of the Mediterranean. Another unique experience that you should definitely try is swimming with dolphins. It s an experience that you won't ever forget.

23 Unique St. Catherine s Monastery Egyptian Museum One of the oldest monasteries in the world, St. Catherine's stands at the foot of Mount Sinai, where Moses is said to have received the Ten Commandments. This desert monastery is home to an incredible collection of religious iconography, art, and manuscripts as well as the home of the burning bush. Home to at least 120,000 items of ancient Egyptian antiquities, the Egyptian Museum is one of Cairo s top attraction. Highlights include the objects from the Tomb of Tutankhamen and the Royal Mummy Room containing 27 royal mummies from pharaonic times.

24 Unique South Sinai Temple of Hatshepsut Egypt's center for beach fun is the South Sinai region on the Sinai Peninsula.

The Mortuary temple of Hatshepsut, who ruled Egypt from around 1479 BC until her death in 1458 BC, is situated beneath the cliffs at Deir el Bahari on the west bank of the Nile. It is a colonnaded structure, which was designed and implemented by Senemut, the royal architect of Hatshepsut, to serve for her posthumous worship and to honor the glory of Amun.

25 Unique Abu al-abbas al-mursi Mosque Abydos Temple El-Mursi Abul-Abbas Mosque is a famous mosque in Alexandria, Egypt. It is dedicated to the 13th century Alexandrine Sufi saint el-mursi Abul Abbas whose tomb it contains. Abydos' Temple of Osiris is one of ancient Egypt's most fascinating artistic treasures. Its chunky columns and walls, covered in beautiful hieroglyphics and intricate paintings, are spell-binding sights, and even better, you can admire them without the crowds as despite its dazzling beauty, it receives few visitors compared to the temples in nearby Luxor.
