It's known for its beaches and exceptional diving/snorkeling, as well as resorts and nightlife pretty atypical for Egypt. All the honky tonk, though, can be a bit much - I just read that one COP27 delegate commented, " it's like being in Las Vegas, but somehow worse."

His mummy here (above) lays in quiet repose – not really surprising for a mummy, many others in Cairo's new <strong>Grand Egyptian Museum</strong>, the world's largest of archaeology. Egyptians sought to preserve the bodies of the dead so that the soul could inhabit them for eternity. Six thousand years may not be eternity, but it ain't beanbag. Among the artifacts of the boy king - numbering about 5,000 - are gold coffins, furnishings, gold jewelry of all sorts adorning fingers and toes, elaborate necklaces and headpieces.</p>
