Egypt is a magical land offering a tapestry of fascinating landscapes and a kaleidoscope of intriguing treasures. Glowing sunsets, legendary tombs, golden dunes and ancient pyramids await visitors eager to embark on one of the biggest adventures of their lives. Best of all, Egypt is blessed with a desert climate boasting dry heat and low rainfall rates. This translates into a sunny climate year-round, especially along the coasts, making ”the land of sun” an ideal destination for those wishing to say good-bye to cloudy skies and hello to warmth.
