The Land of Civilizations - Country of Pyramid Egypt
« on: September 04, 2010, 02:08:01 AM »



From  any angle, Giza's Pyramids inspire awe. Memorials   to Egyptian kings,  the Pyramids have risen above the desert outside   Cairo for more than  4,000 years. Stone - not sun-dried mud brick - gave   permanence to these  ancient monuments.

Viewed    from atop a minaret, the Cairo skyline greets visitors with a fusion   of  religious tradition and modern realities. With over 11 million    inhabitants in its metro area, the city that knew settlements as long as    6,000 years ago is presently the largest in the Middle East and   Africa.

Headlights    streak across the Kasr El Nil (Palace of the Nile) bridge, which    crosses the Nile River in Cairo. Guarded by bronze lions, the bridge was    completed in its current form in 1933 and now lies at the center of an    important tourism district.

A    whirling dervish is framed by his colorful robes as he twirls. The    traditional dance of the Sufi Muslim religious order is performed    throughout the Arab world in local variations.

The    granite exterior wall of the Bibliotheca Alexandrina is lined with    hieroglyphs and characters from 120 different languages. The research    and intellectual center, opened in 2001, is located in the Eastern    Harbor of Alexandria, near the site where archaeologists believe the    ancient Library of Alexandria once stood.
