At a glance
Egypt is a destination for those who want to travel back in time and see some of the greatest momuments built.
The Sphinx, the Nile, ancient Luxor, the pyramids - Egypt's scope is glorious. It's not just the Pharaonic monuments that have drawn travellers to this country since long before the birth of Christ - it's the legacy of the Greeks, Romans and early Christians, and the profusion of art and architecture accumulated from centuries of successive Islamic dynasties.
