Gertrude Bell, one of the most
famous travelers to the Middle East, said, "Few such moments of
exhilaration can come as that which stands at the threshold of wild
travel." Egypt is, without a doubt, adventure country par
excellence. Wide expanses of desert dotted with lush green oases,
colorful underwater seascapes, and Labyrinthian tombs inspire
exploration in the grand tradition of Lawrence of Arabia and Indiana
Jones. Egypt brings many images to mind: colossal pyramids and
gilded tombs, opulent pharaohs and omnipotent gods, the mighty Nile
River and its dams. It is a country with an astoundingly rich past,
so much so that most visitors probably know more about what Egypt
was like 3000 years ago than about the modern-day state. But it is
the Egypt hidden behind these national treasures and universal
wonders that travelers come to know and love: the urban sprawl of
Cairo and Alexandria, the unspoiled culture of the Bedouin, the
unparalleled relaxation of a felucca ride down the Nile, and, above
all, the astounding hospitality of Egyptians everywhere-from the
oasis villages to the heart of Cairo. Egypt is a budget traveler's
paradise. The sights are stunning, the culture fascinating, and
bargains a way of life. However, travel here requires plenty of
time, stamina, and patience. Most find that with a relaxed attitude,
the hassles of traveling are surpassed by the intensity and beauty
of the Egyptian experience
