Egypt introduction

In the fifth century BC Herodotus wrote of Egypt that 'nowhere are there so many marvelous things...nor in the world besides are to be seen so many things of unspeakable greatness' - and not too much has changed. The Sphinx, the Nile, ancient Luxor, the pyramids - Egypt's scope is glorious. It's not just the Pharaonic monuments that have drawn travelers to this country since long before the birth of Christ - it's the legacy of the Greeks, Romans and early Christians, and the profusion of art and architecture accumulated from centuries of successive Islamic dynasties.
