Egypt - Introduction

Posted by: John Ross on February 18, 2004 4:49:42 PM

Although Egypt is one of the most populated, prosperous and correspondingly influential countries in Africa, its position and culture put it squarely in the Middle Eastern region in political terms. It has been a tourist destination ever since ancient Romans and Greeks marvelled at its pyramids and other exotic sites, and still has an allure few other countries can rival. Cairo is a dizzying experience, places like Luxor and the Valleys of the Kings and Queens are unforgettable, and a Nile cruise can be a journey of a lifetime.
