Egypt: A story shaped by many cultures

Egypt is the cradle of one of the most fascinating civilizations in history. The pyramids of Giza, the temples of Luxor, the treasures of Tutankhamun, the Nile that has given life for millennia. But also the Red Sea with its incredible diving, the Sahara that extends to infinity and a living culture that blends the ancient with the modern.
