Ahlan-Wa-Sahlan! Upon arrival in
Egypt , you will be warmly greeted with “Ahlan-Wa-Sahlan,”
which means, “Welcome home” - and we really mean it!
Egypt does not need an introduction. It was the
introduction to human civilization itself, and has
all the evidence to show for it.
Tour Egypt from the live Nile Valley , to the
solitary deserts, to the diversity of the Sinai
desert , to the lush oases, to the exotic underwater
life of the Red Sea , to the Mediterranean beaches.
"Now, let me talk more of Egypt for it has a lot of
admirable things and what one sees there is superior
to any other country."
"...In Egypt all the operations of the powers which
rule and work in heaven have been transferred to
earth below...It should rather be said that the
whole cosmos dwells in [Egypt] as in its
sanctuary..."
"There will come a time when ... the gods will
return from earth to heaven; Egypt will be forsaken,
and the land which was once the home of religion
will be left desolate, bereft of the presence of its
deities."
Even though much of what Herodotus witnessed has
been ruined by the cruelty of later generations, his
statement is still valid to this day. Today's
Egyptians have abandoned their ancient heritage for
a mostly Moslem Arabic-speaking nation. Happily,
they have maintained their friendly, hospitable, and
warm characteristics.
Cairo , the
capital is the place to start. It has the Pyramids,
the Sphinxs, the Egyptian Museum, many more sights
and more than ten million cairenes to share the
experience. Alexandria , the two hundreth city of
the country has its fare share of historic sights as
well and with its location on the Mediterranean it
is an ideal spot for your holidays.
The north of Egypt has many impressive temples and
graves from Pharaonic times. Luxor , Aswan and Abu
Simbel should all be on your to do list.
The Nile River has great scuba diving : Hurghada is
world famous for its under water world.
