Egypt is a developing country with extensive facilities for tourists.

One of the main features of Egypt is the River Nile which divides the country in two sections.  Another main feature of Egypt, Suez Canal, provides a third division with the Sinai Peninsula.  Beyond the highly cultivated Nile Valley and Delta, the landscape is mainly flat desert that is largely devoid of vegetation.

The coast south of Suez has some excellent beaches and the coral reefs offshore attract many divers. The capital Cairo, sprawling around the Nile and up towards the Delta, is a popular tourist destination and a city of astonishing diversity and vitality where you can find the history of this uniting elements of Egypt, the Orient and Western Europe. Not to be missed is the Egyptian Museum which contains the celebrated treasures of Tutankhamen.
