Egypt - Once in a Lifetime ?
October 8, 2008
Egypt can be considered a once in a lifetime destination. Try telling that to my parents. My mom and dad have been to Egypt three times in the last year, and they’re planning on going back. Really, who can blame them?
While all of Earth has existed for the same amount of time, Egypt isn’t just old, it’s ancient, more ancient than anywhere else. You can feel it in the soil, smell it on the sandstone. You’ll be reminded of it everywhere you go – from the local outfits to the towering Pyramids and especially the antiquities dealers. In Egypt you can not help but feel connected to the very passage of time.
When one thinks Egypt they often imagine a camel caravan, passing before the Great Pyramid and the Sphinx while the Nile River winds placidly along the background. Widen your scope. Egypt is an enormous land with a rich and varied offering of customs, history, scenery and adventure. From discovering there are more stars in the sky than you ever knew during the absolute peace and quiet of a night in the desert to the majesty and opulence of a cruise to Luxor, Egypt will awake a feeling of wonder in any soul.
