Benefiting of consecutive strong and able rulers and depending on the Nile for transportation and irrigation that needed to be maintained, Egypt evolved into the first country in the world with a national and well organized government. As time passed, authority began to weaken in Egypt, foreign rulers took over the country repeatedly for short periods of time over 400 years, then the priest got the power and the Empire declined. 

Persians invaded Egypt for a few years, and Alexander the Great came to fight them. A great diplomat, he showed respect and veneration to the gods of Egypt. When he entered the ancient capital of Memphis in 333 BC, he was hailed as King of Egypt. Deciding to visit the oracle of Amon to consult the seer about his destiny, he stopped in his journey to rest in an old Egyptian village, located between the Mediterranean Sea and the Lake of Mariott. He then decided to build a town here, and it is what we now know as Alexandria. He then left to Asia to fight the Persians, and died in Babylon in 323 BC, without ever seeing the city that bears his name. 

Filled with remnants of those ancient times, Egypt is one of the world’s main tourist attractions. People come from all over to see the only “wonder of the world” that is still standing – the Great Pyramid at Giza, but also the imposing Sphinx, the numerous Temples located all over Egypt, the Museums, and the ancient cities of Cairo, Luxor, Aswan and the legendary Alexandria. If you have never visited Egypt, try to! You don’t know what you are missing, as it is a place that everyone must see at least once in their lives. I have covered all of these locations in detail, with info’s and pictures on my blog at http://tourist-egypt.blogspot.com/2009/05/tourist-egypt-general-info-and-history.html , and I sincerely hope that it will be one more reason to actually set you on your journey to see the wonders and mystery of one of the most beautiful places in the world.

Have a very nice day.

This statue is a grand sight to behold, with its majestic head facing due East, and a small temple positioned between its paws. Its development is something of a riddle to historians, with nothing more than theories as to how and when it came about.

You’ll find there are so many places to visit, each one offering a multitude of possibilities, that you’ll definitely need a structured and organized way of enjoying at least some of them.

So, unless you already know the country and its history extremely well, you’d certainly be advised to make use of the super selection of Egypt tours available – both from travel agents and on the internet.
