• Egypt is the country of one of the most ancient civilizations of the world, ruled by
arrogant pharaohs and the beautiful Queen Cleopatra. In Egypt, travelers can see
monuments like the ones that cannot be seen anywhere else: the majestic Pyramids and
the mysterious Sphinx, the grand temples of Karnak and Luxor, the treasures of the tomb
of Tutankhamun and the minarets of ancient mosques.

• A desert with rare oases occupies almost the entire territory of Egypt. It makes an
indelible impression on tourists: sand shimmers in all shades - from yellow, like ocher, to
purple. The Egyptian climate is very mild. Even climate-dependent tourists, the weather in
Egypt does not cause health complications.

• Of course, we must talk about the cuisine of Egypt. The most popular dishes are fula
(boiled beans in sour sauce, with spices and herbs, sometimes with the addition of finely
chopped vegetables), falafel (vegetarian cutlets from grated legumes), which are served
with a plate of tahini sauce (grated sesame seeds and nuts with olive oil, spices), a
nightmare (again beans, beans, lentils mixed with fried onions), which is poured with fiery
liquid from the bottles served right there. Of course, in the national cuisine of the
Egyptians, not only beans. Tagin is a seafood platter baked in a pot. Next, basturma, fried
pigeon stuffed with porridge, eggplant with garlic, gebna (fried with cheese dumplings),
jacket-kebab (kebab - barbecue, jacket - fried sausages), accompanied by a cup of rice,
amazing pastries and, of course, hibiscus tea (" Pharaoh ").
