Hurghada, Egypt

Fueled by the magnificent Nile River, the transcontinental country of Egypt continues to be one of the greatest powers in Northern Africa.  For centuries, civiliations depended on the rich, fertile soil along the banks of the Nile and today, much of Egypt's population still resides in the thriving Nile Valley. 
 
Cairo, the Triumphant City, is one of the world's largest urban areas and Egypt's largest city.  It is a bustling link between antiquity and modernity, full of life and culture. 
 
Second in size is Alexandria, the Pearl of the Mediterranean.  Though a relatively short distance from Cairo, Alexandria represents a different cultural heritage: a mixture of cosmopolitan and bohemian lifestyles.
 
In the lower Nile Valley sits Luxor, considered more of an open-air museum than a city.  Here, the Valley of the Kings annually attracts numerous tourists eager to experience the monuments whichLuxor have fared the test of time in the most glorious, well-preserved manner.
 
Farther south of Luxor is Aswan, a charming scenic town with golden deserts and granite rocks, islands inundated with tropical palms and plants while the beautiful Nile interweaves it all.  Aswan's atmosphere is distinctively African, with Nubian culture ever present in music and folklore.  It is a frontier town with a lax, slower pace of living perfect for relaxation and appreciating its stunning beauty.
