Egypt

Africa is bold, beautiful, and full of stories etched in stone and sky. Stand in the shadow of ancient pyramids, cruise a legendary river, explore colorful city streets, and scan the horizon for wildlife on open plains. From timeless wonders to natural drama, every day in Africa brings a new perspective - and a deeper sense of awe.
