Cairo, Egypt

EGYPTA NORTH AFRICAN COUNTRYWITH GREAT HISTORICAL VALUEAND RICH IN CULTURE

HISTORY For almost 30 centuries, Egypt was the preeminent civilization in the Mediterranean world.

From the great pyramids of the Old Kingdom through the military conquests of the New Kingdom, Egypt's majesty has entranced archaeologists and historians and created a vibrant field of study all its own: Egyptology.

The main sources of information about ancient Egypt are the monuments, objects and artifacts that have been recovered from archaeological sites, covered with hieroglyphs that have only recently been deciphered. The picture that emerges is of a culture with few equals in the beauty of its art, the accomplishment of its architecture or the richness of its religious traditions.
