Overview

Egypt is a nation that connects northeastern Africa with the Middle East, dating back to the time of the pharaohs. Millennia-old landmarks line the fertile Nile River Valley, including the colossal Pyramids of Giza and the Great Sphinx, as well as Luxor's pictograph-lined Karnak Temple and the Valley of the Kings burial chambers. The capital, Cairo, is home to Ottoman monuments like the Muhammad Ali Mosque and the Egyptian Museum, which houses a treasure trove of relics.
