This is an online travel guide for foreign visitors to Egypt, allowing you to see all of the country from your own computer and perhaps plan your next holiday.
Few countries in the world comes closer to a monument overload than Egypt. Many visitors believing they have seen the best, often get a shock when later finding out how much remains undiscovered by them. But with more than 90% of all attractions lined up along the river Nile, Egypt is one big invitation to come and visit.
Even if travelling in Egypt is not done without precautions, everyday Egyptians are friendly people, proud to receive visitors from all over the world, and ready to help in all situations – just keep your baksheesh (tip) ready.
But don't forget: Even if most people think of Egypt as pyramids and ancient monuments, there is much more! Read our introductory to Egypt, beginning with Where history begins.
