Egypt with its ancient culture, spectacular monuments and historic landscape has for centuries been an irresistible draw to outsiders. See the Great Pyramids of Giza; the enormous temples at Luxor and Karnak, their walls encrusted with hieroglyphs; Ramses watching over the Nile at Abu Simbel; and Cairo's Islamic architecture and crowded bazaars. Our images have captured the awe and mystery of this ancient land at history's crossroads on the Nile.
