Destinations in Egypt



Egypt was a cradle of civilisation that allowed the same basic language and culture to flourish for nearly 3,000 years. For most of this long history, pharoah was 'Lord of the Two Lands' - the Nile valley and the broad Delta. Each major pyramid was a tomb for a king of Egypt. The pyramid complex was an economic engine too - employing people and redistributing wealth.

With
the building of the pyramids, new farms, ranches and whole new towns were founded in the provinces. The livestock and produce from these estates was then passed on to the workforce and to the priests and special classes of people who served the pyramid complex. Thus the pyramids where a major catalyst the development of Egypt as one of the world's first true state.
