Egypt

For a lot of people Egypt means, above all, the pyramids and the world’s longest river, the Nile. However, this fascinating country offers far more treasures: Here you will find the origins of Western civilization and you will experience how people with different religions and cultures live together. And should you prefer active holidays, swimming and diving in the Red Sea will be an unforgettable experience during your vacation.
