Yes, I visited Egypt in 1982.\nBack then, it was a treat visiting the Cairo Museum, and the pyramids and sphinx at Giza.  I love seeing the history of Egypt.\nPeople were fairly nice, but the country was filthy dirty.  I hope someone has cleaned it up since then.

No, but I would like to if there was someone to teach me and ensure physical safety. It looks more like an animal to be admired from a bit of a distance to me.\n\nI have been on a camel twice and that was an adventure. I highly recommend it. And, I rode an elephant in a monsoon in Agra, India, once. Another experience money just can't buy.

That's a very good (and sligthly difficult) question! People have been interested in the history of Egypt for a long time, in fact it was all the rage in ancient Greece after Herodotus wrote a sort of travel book on the region in the 5th century BC!\nDespite this, and all the research and archealogy in the region over the years, there's still a lot we don't really know about early Egypt...\n\nPeople were probably beginning to settle down along the Nile as long ago as 6000 BC, and the size of settlements apprently began to grow quite rapidly after around 4000 BC. After about 3500 BC there's evidence of towns with bud-brick buildings and what we now call Egypt seems to have been split loosely into  two smaller kingdoms: Lower Egypt, along the north of the Nile and its delta, and Upper Egypt, along the southern part of the Nile river.\nThe exact details are a bit of a mystery, but around 3100 BC a King from Upper Egypt defeated the King of the Delta and united the country for the first time.\n\nBefore the unification we call the 'Predynastic period' and after this came the 'Early dynastic period', which could be considered the beginning of a single reign of Egypt.\n\nThere were many more dynasties in Egypt, including a period we call 'The Old Kingdom', which is when Egypt's most famous landmarks were built - the pyramids!\n\nIf you want to know more, there's a very good website from the British Museum at http://www.ancientegypt.co.uk/menu.html

I come from Egypt. I love it! It's got great scenery, awesome weather, and the people are very friendly. The government, though, is very corrupt; and life standards are quite low. I highly recommend it for vacationers. It may also be good for businessmen. But, otherwise, the political and economic conditions are not very good.

There are no more famous ancient sites within Egypt, or for that matter elsewhere in the world, than the Great Pyramids at Giza. They are, without question, the icon most associated with the Egypt. They have been both the main destination for tourists, and a source of imaginative thought to the world for over three thousand years.\n\nHowever, there are actually over 100 pyramids in Egypt, many of which are relatively unknown to anyone who is not an ancient Egypt enthusiast. All but a very few are grouped around and near the City of Cairo, just south of the Nile Delta. Otherwise, only one royal pyramid is known in southern Egypt (at Abydos), that being the one built by Ahmose, founder of the 18th Dynasty and Egypt's New Kingdom. It may have also been the last royal pyramid built in Egypt.\n\nHence, major pyramids were not built throughout Egypt's ancient history. The Pyramid Age began with a burst of building, starting with the 3rd Dynasty reign of Djoser. Some of the early kings, most specifically Snefru, built more than one pyramid. Almost all of the kings added to their number through the end of the Middle Kingdom, with the possible exception of the First Intermediate Period between the Old and Middle Kingdoms. After the first Pharaoh of Egypt's New Kingdom, Ahmose, royal pyramid building by Egyptians ceased entirely. Somewhat abruptly the kings of the New Kingdom chose, rather than making their tombs completely obvious, to hide them in the hills of the West Bank of Thebes (modern Luxor).\n\nHowever, smaller pyramids were constructed, for example in the Deir el-Medina necropolis, by private individuals. The Late Period Nubians who ruled Egypt also built relatively small pyramids with much steeper sides, though these were in fact constructed in Nubia itself. This tradition was carried on in Nubia after these southern rulers lost control of Egypt, and eventually, more pyramids were actually built in Nubia than Egypt, though on a much smaller scale.\n\nOther pyramids in the world certainly exist, but their purpose, for the most part, was different than those of ancient Egypt. The most famous outside Egypt are probably those located in Mexico and to the south of Mexico, but these appear to have been built more as temples. In Egypt, all but a select few of the pyramids were built as tombs, sometimes to hold the physical body of a pharaoh (as well as other individuals), or to hold the soul of the deceased (as in the case of the small cult pyramids built next to the larger ones). Otherwise, the purpose of only a few small, regional stepped pyramids remains elusive.\n\nWhile pyramids were, for the most part, tombs for the Pharaohs of Egypt, one must nevertheless question the reason that Egyptian rulers chose this particular shape, and for that matter, why they built them so large. Today, we believe that they chose the shape in order to mimic the Benben, a pyramid shaped stone found in the earliest of temples, which itself is thought to symbolize the primeval mound from which the Egyptians believed life emerged. This also connected the pyramid to Re, the Sun God, as it was he, according to some of the ancient Egypt mythology, who rose from the primeval mound to create life.\n\nAs far the great size of many of the pyramids in Egypt, we can really only surmise that the Pharaohs were making a statement about their own power and perhaps, about the glory and strength of their country. However, it should also be remembered that many of the latter pyramids were not nearly as large as the Great Pyramids at Giza (and elsewhere).\n\nPyramids evolved. The first of them was not a perfectly formed pyramid. In fact, the first Pyramid we believe that was built in Egypt, that of Djoser, was not a true pyramid at all with smooth sides and a point at the top. Rather, its sides were stepped, and the top of the pyramid truncated with a flat surface (as best we know). As the Egyptian pyramids evolved, there were failures as well glorious fail

The Egyptian museum in Cairo has hundreds of artifacts taken from his tomb near Luxor. It's definitely worth a visit. While you're planning your trip, have a look at their website www.egyptianmuseum.gov.eg/collection_tut.html

All I can say is, keep strong, keep going to school, so someday you can leave. Egypt is a great destination for tourists, though I used to live in a tourist town called stratford ontario, it was a miserable place and while I lived their I felt the same way and found people pretty much the same as you do (exept for women being hassled and raped on a daily basis, just weekly). Tourist towns suck. I think you just see the forest for the trees. Obviously their is not alot of good in egypt, however maybe you can do what you must to make it a better place. You can fight the power! Alot of people have a over romantisized view of egypt and only know what they see when they look at the travel brochure. If you see whats wrong with egypt and no one else you know does, help them see. You cannot change the past, but you can change the future.
