Egypt

Where Civilisation
Began

The Pyramids at Giza, the Valley of the Kings at dusk, the Nile at dawn — Egypt is 5,000 years of human achievement made visible.

5,000 Years of recorded history
138 Known pyramids
6,650 km Length of the Nile

“Egypt does not ask to be understood. It asks only to be experienced — slowly, repeatedly, with reverence.”

Egypt is the oldest travel destination on earth — the ancient Greeks came here to marvel at monuments that were already 1,500 years old. The Pyramids of Giza remain the only surviving wonder of the ancient world. The Valley of the Kings shelters the tombs of the pharaohs who built an empire that endured for three millennia. The Nile, traversed by felucca sailboat at sunset, is one of the world’s great slow journeys. Luxor’s temple complex at night, Abu Simbel at dawn, the souks of Cairo’s Khan el-Khalili — Egypt overwhelms not with its wilderness but with the accumulated weight of human ambition across five thousand years.
