Welcome to Egypt. Welcome to the land of civilization, history and originality. Here, history stops to salute the greatness of civilization of all ages starting from the Pharaonic eras and its several great monuments and the sparkling great pyramids, which are considered one of the Seven Wanders of the World.

When it was discovered by Howard Carter on 4th November 1922.We should also mention the great King Ramses II, which is one of the strongest kings of the ancient Egyptian. He had ruled Egypt about 76 straight. There is a collection of his statues spread in many parts of Egypt like the temple of Abu Simbel in the Upper Egypt. Also according to some historical evidence which says that Ramses II was the pharaoh who existed at the time when the Children of Israel went out Egypt to the promise land from the above we learn that history had written its first pages here in Egypt.
