Egypt is probably the world's oldest civilization having emerged from the Nile Valley around 3,100 BC, historically. Egypt is probably one of the oldest vacation spots. Early Greeks, Romans & others went there just for fun & to see the wonders of some of mankind's earliest triumphs. But Egypt is much more than Pyramids & monuments. It is also Red Sea scuba diving, hot night spots, luxury hotels & five star restaurants. It has romantic cruises down the Nile on festive river boats, a night at the grand opera & it is a cultural experience like none you have ever experienced. Egypt is a land bustling with life, sound, visual beauty & excitement. More than anything else, we want you to think of Egypt as fun. For thousands of years, it has been the playground of emperors & kings but we hope you will take the time to find out why.

Although nearly all of Egypt is desert, the small part that isn't - the valley of the Nile River - is vital to the nation (95% of the population lives within a few miles of the Nile's banks). Most tours of Egypt - except to desert oasis - whether by cruise, train, bus or a private car, never stray too far from the river's shores.

Most people who think of Egypt think of antiquities, but Egypt offers much more. Certainly it is a prime location to see our great heritage from the ancient world, including Pyramids & wonderful temples, but it is also part of the Holy Land like tours to Christian & other religious monuments are popular. Yet Egypt also offers nature & desert treks, great scuba diving & even golf, fishing & birding expeditions. One may choose to relax on the wondrous Egypt Red Sea or Sinai coasts, take in the high culture of Cairo, or even leisurely float down the Egyptian Nile on a luxurious river boat.

Seychelles is made up of a group of 115 islands. The Mahe group of 32 islands is the main group & it contains all of the principle islands where people live. Most of the other islands are uninhabited. The climate is humid & tropical & the islands are covered with lush vegetation. Fresh water is scarce on some of the islands, but these are the ones that few people live on. The populated islands have surface streams from which the people can get fresh water. Only about 18% of the land on the islands is used for permanent crops. This is due partly of the fact that many of the islands are rocky & hilly.

Seychelles comprise of 41 spectacular granitic islands & 74 sparkling sand cays & atolls. Together these form 6 distinct group : The Inner Islands, The Amirantes, Southern Coral, Alphonse, Farquhar, & Aldabra all lying between 480 km & 1600 km from East African coast.
