Here the traveller can explore some of the most historical treasures in the world, relics of an ancient civilization who influenced both the Greeks and the Romans, and our own modern world. There are famous monuments to discover: the temples, the Pyramids, the tombs of the Pharaohs, but also bustling Nile-side cities rich in museums, grandiose religious buildings and teeming bazaars, or the Red Sea coast, home to the among the most beautiful coral gardens in the world. Much of Egypt’s 4,000 year history can be discovered based on beautifully appointed a Nile cruisers or Felucca’s on itineraries that can last a few days or stretch over 600 miles form Cairo to Abu Simble
