Egypt: The Nile Cradle of Civilisation
Egypt is one of the world’s oldest civilisations, with a history stretching back over 5,000 years. It is an open air museum, famous for its incredible amount of ancient monuments from the vast amount of pyramids, the Giza complex, and grand temples built by generations of pharaohs. These achievements reflect Egypt’s early advances in architecture, writing, economy, military and governance.
