Egypt the cradle of civilisations

EGYPT IS HOME TO ANCIENT PYRAMIDS, INTRICATE ARCHITECTURE, AND THE RESPLENDENT NILE RIVER. FROM THE OLDEST OF TRADITIONS TO MODERN COMPLEXITIES, THE PLACE HAS SOMETHING TO OFFER TO EVERYONE - COLOURFUL MARKETS, RAVISHING MOSQUES, MUSEUMS, MAGNIFICENT DESSERTS, ARCHITECTURAL WONDERS, AND CULINARY DELIGHTS TO RELISH YOUR TASTE BUDS.

Egypt, the oldest civilisation, is a transcontinental country in North Africa, sharing its borders with Palestine and Israel in the northeast, Gulf of Aqaba and the Red Sea to the east, Sudan to the south, and Libya to the west. Egypt, with its capital in the largest city, Cairo, is one of the most popular and the oldest tourist destinations. The place is most admired and appreciated for its preserved culture, the way they treasure its temples, monuments, and pharaohs. Ancient pyramids, temples, tombs are the major attractions of the place.

Most of Egypt’s landscape comprises barren land or deserts due to which most of the population is concentrated along the Nile valley and Delta. Because of the extremely parched climate, 99% of the population has to survive on 3% of the land. The climate here is usually hot, sunny, and dry. Winds often create huge sand dunes up to 100 ft in height. Egypt witnesses rain mostly in winter months and snow falls on Sinai’s mountains and in cities like Damietta, Baltim, and Sidi Barrani.
