Egypt is a land steeped in ancient magic, where the towering Pyramids of Giza still stand as the last remaining wonder of the ancient world. Situated in northeastern Africa, Egypt is steeped in history, with the Nile, the longest river on Earth, flowing through its very heart. Ancient Egyptians were among the first to develop a written language, hieroglyphics, and they made history by signing the world’s earliest known peace treaty, the Treaty of Kadesh, in 1259 BCE.
