Egypt, Africa

 

Without a doubt Egypt has one of the greatest cultural heritages in the world. Nowhere else in the world is it possible to reconcile and harmonise recreation with history the way you can do it in the land of Cleopatra. Kairo, Egypt´s capital, is the biggest city in the entire Arab world.

What makes Kairo world-famous is the strong Islamic flair and all the mosques. Well worth seeing are the Mosque of Alabaster, which is situated in the fortress of Kairo, and the Mosque of Ahmed-ibn-Tulun which was build in 879 as it became the biggest mosque in Kairo and third biggest in the world. An absolute must for anyone is to go sightseeing in the Egyptian museum. Admire the world-famous Golden Mask of Tutanchamun and countless other antiques from all eras of the history of Egypt.

A little bit further to the west of Kairo the city of Giza is situated and on its tableland are the world-renowned emblems of Egypt. There you can admire the majestic Sphinx with its unique facial expression and of course the 3 pyramids. The Egyptians are incredibly proud of this magnificent wonder of the world as they are happy about everyone who wants to see that particular heritage.

Just a few kilometres far away from Giza the burial ground of the ancient Memphis stretches across a place called Sakkara. In this place you can admire the pyramid of Djosier which is the world´s oldest pyramid. One of your highlights should definitely be a trip to the city of Luxur. Nowhere else in the country are as many impressive monuments as it is the case in Luxur. As a matter of fact, you really shouldn´t miss calling at the temple of Karnak to see one of their laser and sound animated shows. A journey through Egypt is so incredibly multifaceted that it would take several months just to see half of it.

For every lover art lover or historian this country is a pure experience. We recommend you to take a cruise through the Nil as this would be the final highlight of your stay in Egypt. Get enchanted by this amazing country.
