THE EGYPTIAN EXPERIENCE
| THE EGYPTIAN EXPERIENCE
Ever
since Herodotus, the ancient Greek historian, first described
Egypt as "the gift of the Nile ", she has been capturing the
imagination of all who visit her. The awe- inspiring monuments, left by
the Pharaohs, Greeks and Romans, attract thousands of visitors each
year. The Pyramids, temples, tombs, monasteries and mosques are only
part of the country's fascination. Modern Egypt - where mud brick
villages stand beside Pharaonic ruins surrounded by towering steel
and glass buildings and goatskin tents of the Bedouins -is at
the cultural cross-roads of the ancient and the modern. Through all this the Nile
flows serene and majestic, the lifeblood of Egypt as it has been since
the beginning of history. The real attraction of this country however
lies in its incredible natural beauty and in the overwhelming
hospitality of the Egyptian people.

SCUBA DIVING IN
THE RED SEA
The
Red Sea has remained wild, relatively untouched, desolate and pristine.
It's fascinating mix of sea teeming with life and the barren desert
surrounding will intrigue you forever. The long, narrow Red Sea is
surrounded by arid mountains on both sides. No rivers flow into it, and
the influx from the Indian Ocean , is extremely slight - factors which
create very distinctive conditions. This includes a very high salt
content, requiring divers to use more weights. The Red Sea can become
rather cool during the winter months of November through to February
and the wearing of wet suits are recommended. Diving in the turquoise
water of the Red Sea is considered by most scuba divers as the best in
the world. Dive sites like Ras Mohammed, the Tiran islands, the wrecks
of the Thistlegorm and the Dunraven, undoubtedly justifies this number
one position. |
