Egypt is a place like no other. She mystifies and confounds. She humbles and dismays. She awes and astounds. What you see depends on which eyes you choose to look through; but no matter the lens, you will find paradox everywhere.
Travellers have been coming here for 3000 years to witness the magnificent temples and tombs of the old. Many still stand, steadfast as ever, amid contemporary buildings not a decade old crumbling in shambles. Locals carry on alongside the ancient monuments as they always have – just getting on. At every turn there are sights and sounds that previously only ever lived in your imagination: camels feeding at the side of dusty rural tracks, the call to prayer from a dozen minarets clashing outside your window and clouds of shisha smoke rising above backgammon boards.
The ancient rulers, rituals and ruins that captivated you as a curious child stand open for exploration. Likewise, Egypt’s natural wonders – epic desert terrain to multi-coloured marine life – will leave you breathless.
