Mystic. Royal. Vast.
A STUDY IN
Contrasts
Bordered by the Mediterranean Sea to the north, the Red Sea to the east, Libya to the West and Sudan to the south, Egypt is located in the northeast corner of the African continent. The Sinai Peninsula, also part of Egypt, bridges the gap between Africa and Asia. Egypt is home to one of the oldest civilizations on earth and its rich history has created a tapestry of cultural and archaeological treasures - so much so that the country is home to one third of the world’s antiquities.
