Egypt is a transcontinental country spanning Northeast Africa and the Sinai Peninsula in Asia, known for the Pyramids of Giza (last remaining Ancient Wonder), the Sphinx, Valley of the Kings, Nile River cruises, and 5,000 years of continuous civilization. Cairo, the capital, is Africa's largest city. Visitors are drawn to Giza Pyramids and Sphinx, Luxor's Karnak Temple and Valley of the Kings, Abu Simbel temples, Egyptian Museum, Aswan and Philae Temple, Red Sea diving in Sharm El-Sheikh and Hurghada, Nile River cruises, and Islamic Cairo's mosques and bazaars. Egypt offers unparalleled ancient history and cultural treasures.
