  • EGYPT, THE ETERNAL CIVILIZATION
     
    Thousands of years later, nothing remains as current and true as the old adage that Egypt is the gift of the Nile. Without the river there would be no fertile land, food or electricity. Without the Nile, there would be only one great desert. Egyptians are increasingly physically separated from the river, but it remains the protagonist - just as in Ancient Egypt. Fortunately, the Nile continues to be both the scenery and the perfect host to witness history and the most spectacular monuments that have defined a civilization.
     
    Egypt welcomes you with the mighty Nile, and always together, the desert and the delta. Explore the Valley of the Kings in Luxor, where Tutankhamun's tomb was excavated. In Cairo, witness the present in the great mosques and decipher the past in the Egyptian Museum. Travel the Nile from Luxor to Aswan and meet the Egyptian deities at the cruise stops. Cross Lake Nasser to see the masterpiece of Ramses II at Abu Simbel and admire the pyramids on a camel.
     
    But it is not just the temples and pyramids of Giza that enchant. The coast along the Red Sea and the resorts of Sinai Peninsula enjoy a reputation as one of the best diving destinations on the planet. Egypt's landscapes are fascinating, from the oases that renew themselves to the silent desert mountains. After so many sensations, fall in love with the eternal bride of the Mediterranean: Alexandria, beginning or end of epic journeys in Africa, connects Egypt to its past and its future.
