ancient splendour
Travellers have always been fascinated by Egypt. Home to some of the most awe-inspiring ancient monuments, Egypt’s rich history has created a myriad of cultural and archaeological treasures unlike anywhere else. Beyond the temples and tombs of the pharaohs, this North African nation also offers world-class scuba diving, sun-soaked beaches and thrilling desert adventures.
- Located in the northeast corner of Africa, Egypt is the most populated country in the Arab world and the third most populous in Africa.
- Arabic is the official language and English is widely spoken. In tourist areas, German and French are spoken with varying degrees of fluency.
- With year-round sun and almost no rain, temperatures range from pleasantly warm in the winter to extremely hot in the summer. Cities such as Cairo and Alexandria in the north are generally a few degrees cooler than places like Aswan and Abu Simbel in the south. Nights in the desert can be cold.
