Vacation Overview
A mesmerizing country of ancient civilization, Egypt’s culture and mysterious past fascinate generation after generation. Your journey begins in Cairo, the most populated metro area in Africa. See the Sphinx, Valley Temple, and the great Giza Pyramids, standing since approximately 2560 BC.

Follow the Nile Delta to Alexandria on the Mediterranean Sea and visit the Fort of Qait, the gardens of Montaza, and the new library. Following the Mediterranean coastal road, stop in El Alamein, where two decisive battles were fought during WWII, then carry on to Marsa Matrouh, a large waterfront town with beautiful white beaches.
