Egypt - Wink Travel Guide

The Arab Republic of Egypt is in north-eastern Africa. Egypt is perhaps best known as the home of the ancient Egyptian civilization, with its art, temples, hieroglyphs, mummies, and above all, its pyramids.

Less well-known is Egypt's Coptic Christian and Muslim heritage, with ancient churches, monasteries and mosques dotted across the landscape.

Egypt stimulates the imagination of western tourists like few other countries and is probably one of the most popular tourist destinations world-wide.
