Egypt is a country bustling with life, sound, visual beauty and excitement. Egypt talks to the senses! That’s why Egypt’s ancient wonders draw millions of visitors each year to the pyramids, temples, mosques and impressive monuments of the Nile Valley. But Egypt is definitely much more than this: it is a country of such natural marvels as the Red Sea Sinai, and the Eastern and Western deserts which shape Egypt’s unique dual character between fertility and desolation as well as modernity and conventionality. Ranging from its pharaonic pyramids and sphinxes, the Nile, ancient Luxor, to its international film and book festivals, the only one-of-its-kind Bibliotheca Alexandria to its hot night spots and dazzling night life, Egypt’s scope for stunning experiences is just unlimited.

Today, Egypt’s economy combines sectors of tourism, agriculture, industry and service which contribute at almost equal rates in the national production and make of Egypt’s the most comprehensive of the Middle East economies. Besides, Egypt possesses a solid network of transportation, communication, energy sources, competent workforce, and an efficient banking system. At the same time, Egyptians are being challenged by the participation of Non-Governmental Organizations and civil society institutions with improvements in health, youth and children care. All these factors are paving the way towards a new phase of political, democratic and social development from which Egyptian society is beginning to see its benefits.
