From Egypt came the first calendar, the earliest script, the oldest known love-song, the first decorated stone monumental building and the tallest tomb.
Egypt was also the first nation to be completely Christianized and it has the oldest university in the world (The Islamic ALAzhar University). Five place from various periods have been declared World Heritage sites: Memphis, capital of the Old Kingdom together with its associated necropolis, the modern city of Luxer with its temples and tombs, all of the Nubian temples from Abu Simbel to Philae, the early Christian pilgrimage center of Abu Mina, and the ancient Islamic quarter of Cairo.
The new glamorous attractive ReadSea resort cities in Sinai and Hurghada provide the new soothing touristy face of Egypt.
