Egypt has something to offer all travellers from all walks of life. From desert landscapes and dry, rugged mountains that reach to the sea, dusty cities full of exotic sounds and smells, and green strips of agricultural land snaking along the banks of the Nile. Egypt is synonymous with Pharaohs, the pyramids, temples and antiquities from ancient civilisations, there is so much fascinating history to see. Spectacular diving in the Red Sea; unique desert experiences, whether on the back of a camel to Mount Sinai or on a jeep safari to the inner oases; the colour and chaos of Cairo and its markets; and felucca cruises on the Nile River are just some of the exotic attractions. Cairo is a chaotic mixture of sights, sounds and smells,distinctive with its ancient monuments in comparison to the modern and cosmopolitan. Cairo's charm lies in its blend of African, Arab, and European influences. Attractions include: Markets, Museum of Antiquities, Pyramids of Giza, Old Cairo, Crystal Factory, Ramses II Statue to name but a few. Nile River: The Nile River has been the lifeblood of Egypt for thousands of years. Excavations have revealed thousands of tombs, temples and monuments along the banks of the river, and the best places to explore some of these relics are from the small towns of Luxor and Aswan.
