Egypt has been and is a country of contrasts, of civilization, culture and science, but also of conflict. And it has been for its wealth, for being a crossroads of continents, of people, where science and the economy developed without equal. Part of the Fertile Crescent, civilization as we conceive it today, was born here between Asia, Europe and Africa. Agriculture, the city, the State, organized religion, education, science, monuments and complex art, all emerged between the Nile and the great Mesopotamian rivers.
Hence the monumentality that today continues to surprise the visitor. From the mastabas and the truncated pyramids of Saqqara, to the great religious and urban complexes of Thebes (Karnak and Luxor, the Valley of the Kings), Heliopolis, Memphis, Abidos, Elephantine, Dashur, Abu Simbel , passing through the well-known pyramids of Giza or Giza , another of the wonders of the ancient world.
But not only ancient Egypt has left its mark on present-day Egypt. Thanks Blog-Egipto.com, you will know a lot about the medieval, Greek, Roman, Arabic and Ottoman past. The temples, fortresses, mosques, souks, caravanserai (or caravasar), from all eras are a claim that opens the door to discover a world of ancient and modern traditions, curiosities, characters ( Ramses II, Tutankhamun, Cleopatra, Mehmet Ali, Napoleon, Champollion , etc ...)
Egypt permeates the visitor. An image is fixed in your mind, from hieroglyphs to music; from the Arabo-African cuisine to the pictures with mosques in the background. Something changes when you walk the dusty streets and you enter the fresh oases full of unspeakable aromas. Something remains when Abandon a country of poverty and immense wealth, a changing country and where that calm and patient spirit floats, that of a country that seeks freedom and a better, fairer and more peaceful life.
