When most people think of Egypt, they think of antiquities, but Egypt offers much more. Certainly it is a prime location to see our great heritage from the ancient world, including Pyramids and wonderful temples, but Egypt offers many adventure tours as well, including nature and desert treks, great scuba diving and even golf, fishing and birding expeditions. Alternatively, one may choose to simply relax on Egypt's wondrous Red Sea or Sinai coasts, or take in the high culture of Cairo, including grand operas, fine restaurants and its exciting night life.
