Egypt, a country known for the magnificence of its pharaohs and the adventures of its gods, is filled with numerous cultural and architectural treasures . The Valley of the Kings, the Pyramids of Giza, the Library of Alexandria; these are all traces of Egypt’s glorious past. A country where the buildings create a breath-taking landscape that could dazzle and delight 
even the most indifferent person. A country of a thousand paradoxes, where the fascinating and noisy street markets of Cairo contrast with the deafening silence of the huge desert plateau of the Sahara. You will be fascinated by the beauty of the majestic Abu Simbel temples which are situated on a remote hilltop, facing the Nile. The Nile, the country’s main artery, has preserved over time the most beautiful remnants of Egypt’s past, which you will discover on a cruise. Beyond the architecture, you will discover Egyptian culture . This is a culture in which the souks are kings, the smell of spices perfume the streets and conversations are interspersed with genuine hugs. All of these are reflections of a passionate life.

Khan El Khalili is a huge souk . Imagine dozens and dozens of booths as far as the eye can see, open from early morning until sunset, and in the middle of it all a constant energetic going and coming! A sort of "Aladdin's cave", which mixes souvenirs for tourists (plastic pyramids, small cloth camels...), everyday items (soap, blankets...) and rare gems: I had the pleasure of seeing beautiful, old Arab books and very beautiful precious stones with fascinating glints!
Some of Khan El Khalili's quarters deserve to be lingered at: I recommend the gigantic silver and goldsmiths' quarters, that of the copper craftsmen, a bit more modest, and finally the spice merchants quarter for the exotic scent and rainbow colours of the stalls.
If you wish to see traditional Cairo cafés, I advise the Fishawi café for its bustling atmosphere day and night, its beautiful mirrors, not to mention the pedlars that are omnipresent in the room. Most of all, do not leave Khan El Khalili without having paced up and down the tiny steps of Midaq passage, which gets its name from the famous novel by Naguib Mahfouz, The Passage of Miracles .
