Travel Egypt Guide, map of egypt

Most people who think of Egypt think of antiquities, but Egypt offers much more. Certainly it is a prime location to see our great heritage from the ancient world, including Pyramids and wonderful temples, but it is also part of the Holy Land, and tours to Christian and other religious monuments are popular. Yet Egypt also offers nature and desert treks, great scuba diving and even golf, fishing and birding expeditions. One may choose to relax on the wondrous Egypt Red Sea or Sinai coasts, take in the high culture of Cairo, or even leisurely float down the Egyptian Nile on a luxurious river boat.

Lake Qarun
Water not moving is apparently a great attraction in Egypt, and Lake Qarun is the largest lake in the entire country, 45 meters below sea level. It is gradually developing into a resort, both with beaches, beach resorts and now also holiday houses.

Early in the day, green fishing boats rest on the eerie calm lake, almost melting with the sky. Bird watchers can have nice time here, with 88 species nest around the lake, including flamingoes.
