About Egypt

About Egypt

Covering more than one million square kilometres, Egypt is located in North Africa, close to Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey and Syria. Flanked by the Mediterranean Sea, it is the 15th most inhabited country in the world, with an estimated population of 83.7 million people.

Although the local economy has traditionally focused on agriculture and trade, Egypt has also emerged as a leading regional hub for other industries, such as oil and gas, logistics and manufacturing (especially textiles, ceramics and food processing).

More about Egypt

Tourism is another significant contributor to the GDP, with around 12 million people visiting from across the world each year. Most holidaymakers are drawn to the incredible range of historical attractions in Egypt, from ancient pyramids, statues and citadels to age-old temples, mosques and archaeological grounds. However, there are many other types of activities on offer, such as a romantic cruise down the River Nile, fun-filled water sports in the Red Sea, or complete relaxation at the oasis town of Siwa.

Book your flights to Egypt with Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, which operates a regular service to Terminal 1 at Cairo International Airport. Search the booking engine on this page to find the best prices for flights to Egypt and other Etihad Airways destinations, while your local embassy should be contacted for the latest travel advisories, in addition to details on visa and vaccination requirements.

Egypt attractions

Egypt is packed with historical attractions for visitors to explore, such as the twin temples of Abu Simbel (popular for its daily light-and-sound show), the ancient tombs of Abydos, the temple complex of Karnak, and the underground graves at Valley of the Kings.

However, the country’s most famous attraction is the Pyramids of Giza, located on the outskirts of Cairo. The breath-taking complex, which is the last surviving member of the Seven Wonders of the World, includes three main pyramids that serve as tombs for different kings. Giza also contains the world’s biggest monolith statue, the Great Sphinx, depicting a large mythical creature with a human head and lion’s body.
