In 430 BC, when Herodotos exclaimed in awe over the magnificent monuments in Egypt, many of them were already 2500 years old. Most, from the pyramids of Giza to the astonishingly beautiful temples of Karnak or Philae, or the painted tombs in the Valley of the Kings, can still be visited today. The sheer age of this great civilisation is mind-blowing.

With high levels of heat, confusion, hassle and stomach bugs to contend with, Egypt is not an easy country for travellers, although greatly improved security measures mean anti-Western activities have been largely curtailed. And for those prepared to brave a few discomforts, this extraordinary country assaults the senses.

The life-giving Nile pours across the map, feeding an emerald ribbon of irrigated fields adjacent to villages shaded by date palms. Whether on a cruise ship or traditional felucca, life on the water is a constant visual feast, while the few huge, dusty cities Cairo, Alexandria, Aswan and Luxor are a babble of exotic sounds and smells.

Hurghada and Sharm el-Sheik, on the Red Sea coast, are doors to a magical underwater world of technicolour fish and coral favoured by divers, while other adventurous travellers head inland. Here, you can discover monasteries amid the arid mountains of Sinai or the distant desert oases, homes of the hardy nomads whose camel trains still wander the Saharan sands.
  • Valley of the Kings
    This famous necropolis, resting place of dozens of the ancient rulers of the kingdom of the Nile, contains the cursed tomb of the most renowned of all Pharaohs, the boy-king Tutankhamun.
  • The Egyptian Antiquities Museum
    Although an incredible amount of Ancient Egyptian remains appear to have migrated across the world, appropriated on somewhat dubious credentials by the nations who funded the vast sweep of digs in the 19th century, the Egyptian Antiquities Museum in Cairo has managed to keep hold of some of the country's finest treasures. Now a century old, even more treasures have been dug up from its bowels for viewing.
  • Bibliotheca Alexandrina
    The Bibliotheca Alexandrina is the revamped version of one of the oldest libraries in the world and a major cultural centre, located in the Egyptian city of Alexandria. It is home to more than eight million books, a conference centre, three museums, four art galleries, a planetarium and a manuscript restoration laboratory.
  • Wonders of Ancient Egypt
    The river Nile snakes its way through some of the most precious archaeological territory on earth and with Whatsonwhen's guide to Egypt's ancient wonders, you won't miss a single sight along its banks.
  • Saqqara
    One of the most important necropoli of the ancient Egyptian capital of Memphis, Saqqara contains a host of important archaeological sites and buildings, including the phenomenal step pyramid of Zozer.
