Tourist Information about Egypt

Do not expect a highly commercialized setting when you go to Egypt .

From historic structures like the pyramids to the Nile River that runs across the country, Egypt literally screams "Ancient Civilization".

With a large area of the country positioned in the Sahara Desert , majority of Egypt 's 77 million inhabitants occupy the city of Alexandria and the nation's capital of Cairo , which also happens to be the largest city in Africa . This is because Cairo and Alexandria are in proximity to the Nile River and the Mediterranean Sea , respectively, giving residents most of the available agricultural land in the country.

While most of the other regions are scarcely populated, ancient structures and artifacts (dating back from the early Christian empires to the more recent Islamic regimes) are evenly distributed around the country, making Egypt a primary cultural center in the Middle East .
