2. • The country known as Egypt is officially called the Arab
Republic of Egypt and it is situated in the north-east of
Africa; though the Sinai Peninsula forms a land bridge with
south-west Asia. It is because of this that Egypt is also called
a Middle-East country. Therefore Egypt is a transcontinental
country, which helps it in being a major power in Africa, the
Middle-East, the Mediterranean, and the Muslim world.

3. • In Arabic Egypt is called ‫مصر‬, or Miṣr, and in ancient
times the country was known as Kemet, or the black
land, due to the alluvial soil which was deposited
during the annual inundation of the River Nile. This
yearly event gave Egypt its fertile land that enabled it
to expand along the length of the river, especially in
the Delta where many various crops were, and still
are, harvested.

20. • The last surviving of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the
Pyramids of Giza are one of the world's most recognisable landmarks.
Built as tombs for the mighty Pharaohs and guarded by the
enigmatic Sphinx, Giza's pyramid complex has awed travelers down
through the ages and had archaeologists (and a fair few conspiracy
theorists) scratching their heads over how they were built for
centuries. Today, these megalithic memorials to dead kings are still as
wondrous a sight as they ever were. An undeniable highlight of any
Egypt trip, Giza's pyramids should not be missed.

21. NILE RIVER

22. • The River Nile is nowadays regarded as the longest river in the world
and it enters Egypt from the Sudan and flows north for about
1,545km (960 miles) until it exits into the Mediterranean Sea. From
the Sudanese border to Cairo, the River Nile flows through a narrow
cliff lined valley, which, south of Edfu, is hardly more than 3km (2
miles) wide. From Edfu to Cairo, it is about 23km (14 miles) in width,
with most of the arable land lying on the western side. Just north of
Cairo the valley merges with the Delta before the River Nile joins with
the Mediterranean Sea.

23. VALLEY OF THE KINGS

24. VALLEY OF THE KINGS

25. • Famed for the Valley of the Kings, Karnak Temple, and the Memorial
Temple of Hatshepsut, the Nile-side town of Luxor in Upper Egypt has
a glut of tourist attractions. This is ancient Thebes, powerbase of the
New Kingdom pharaohs, and home to more sights than most can see
on one visit. While the East Bank brims with vibrant souk action, the
quieter West Bank is home to a bundle of tombs and temples that
has been called the biggest open air museum in the world. Spend a
few days here exploring the colourful wall art of the tombs and gazing
in awe at the colossal columns in the temples, and you'll see why
Luxor continues to fascinate historians and archaeologists.

26. • History of Valley of the Kings
• The Valley of the Kings was created and used from
approximately 1539 BC to 1075 BC. It contains some 60
tombs, starting with Thutmose I and ending with Ramses X
or XI. The official name of the site was The Great and
Majestic Necropolis of the Millions of Years of the Pharaoh,
Life, Strength, Health in The West of Thebes, or more usually,
the Great Field.
• The Valley of the Kings also had tombs for the favourite
nobles and the wives and children of both the nobles and
pharaohs. Around the time of Ramses I (ca. 1300 BC)
the Valley of the Queens was begun, although some wives
were still buried with their husbands.

27. SPHINX

28. •A Sphinx is a mythological creature with the
body of a lion and the head of a person. In
Ancient Egypt a lot of times the head was that of
a Pharaoh or a god. The Egyptians
built sphinx statues to guard important areas
such as tombs and temples. The most famous
Sphinx is the Great Sphinx of Giza.
