WELCOME TO EGYPT

welcome image

Ancient Egypt is one of the oldest and most influential civilizations in history. Emerging as a unified kingdom around 3100 BCE, this civilization flourished in the fertile valley of the Nile River. The Ancient Egyptians left behind a remarkable architectural legacy, including pyramids, temples, and monuments. The Great Pyramid of Giza is considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

Religion was at the heart of Egyptian society. They practiced a polytheistic religion, with one of the most important gods being Ra, the Sun God. Pharaohs were regarded as earthly representatives of the gods, and because it was believed that they would be reborn after death, they were entombed in pyramids.
