The land of the country, known as Arab Republic Egypt, has very ancient history. At the time when in Europe appeared primitive hunters, Egyptian builders created irrigative constructions along the coast of the Nile, Egyptian mathematics calculated the area of the foundation and the angle of Great Pyramids, the ancient Egyptian architects built monumental temples, which are not capable to be destroyed by time ... Today Egypt is the largest Arab country, which is located in north-eastern Africa. Part of its territory - the Sinai Peninsula, is located in Asia. The border between the two continents is taking place on the Suez Canal.
Egypt is open for recreation and travel all year round, the climate in this country dry and warm. From December to February temperature in Cairo ranges between 15 and 20 degrees of heat. From March to May - 22-30 degrees heat, from May to September - 35-40. In September the temperature starts to gradually decline from 30 to 20 degrees in December. At the Red Sea resorts you can rest all year round, even in winter water temperature doesn't reach 20 degrees and the air warms up to 25 degrees of heat. In Hurghada - the most famous resort on the Red Sea - the summer heat is withstood much easier thanks to the constant breeze of the sea, and the flow of tourists doesn't decrease neither not winter, nor summer. The best recreation time on the Mediterranean resorts is from May to September.
96% of the territory of Egypt, exceeding one million square kilometers, is a desert with rare oases, much of it is not a sandy desert, but mountainous. The rest - the Nile valley and delta, where live 90 percent of 65 million population of the country. Even ancient Greek historian Herodotus said that "Egypt is a gift of the Nile." The valley of the Great River has got a great one and a half thousand kilometers to the south of the border with Sudan, to the north, to the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, separating the eastern Arabian Desert from the west, the Libyan.
Desert itself leaves an indelible impression: sand dunes, countless hues of colour - from yellow as ocher, to magenta, which has name only in the language of nomads. But the one, interested in the daily life of Egypt, shall go into discussions with people who might know a lot about the problems of this country, about the appallingly high and still growing unemployment, the collapsing economy. Even so, Egypt is an extremely hearty country. Visitors always greeted with open hearts. You will be asked with interest about the family, work, and your impressions of Egypt. Also you may be cordially invited to the guests for a cup of tea.
