(Egypt)

A country of endless possibilities; unique cultural attractions dating back 5,000 years, colourful underwater worlds, the oriental style bazaars and an unforgettable peace in the desert. Everyone will be sure to find their holiday dream here.
For more than 5,000 years, the Nile has been the lifeline of Egypt. Its fertility allowed one of the first civilisations in world history to develop, the relics of which still amaze visitors today. The colossal grandeur of the Temple of Abu Simbel and the Valley of the Kings, the architectural achievements of the pyramids of Giza and the splendid reigning legacies of the pharaohs in Luxor and Karnak are only the most famous examples of an extraordinarily brilliant culture.
The filigree coral reefs and the colourful fish of the Red Sea will be sure to astound divers and snorkellers who will continue to rave about the experience for a long time afterwards. The warm climate and the pleasant temperature of the water from April through to November also draw beachgoers and water babes to Hurghada, Safara and Sharm el Sheikh. The fabulous tourist infrastructure with countless opportunities for fun and water sports is sure to fulfil all holiday desires.
Another world opens up to visitors in the country's metropolises, the port town of Alexandria and the capital, Cairo. On arrival, ones senses will already feel intoxicated by unknown sights, sounds and smells. Europe, Africa and Asia meet here, as do tradition and modernity. Postmodernist glass palaces and narrow alleyways with oriental bazaars, western Zeitgeist and traditional ways of life co-exist in these million inhabitant cities, which never seem to sleep.
