Tracing its history back to almost 8000 BC, the Egyptian civilization is a must visit destination for historians and avid travellers. Egypt is officially an Islamic country and Arabic is its official language. Years of modernization and foreign influence are seamlessly interwoven with the country’s long and rich cultural tradition, ensuring it remains one of the most diverse destinations for serious vacationers and one of the main reasons that Egypt tourism has risen steadily over the last few years. About 75 percent of Egypt’s population is Muslim, with a Sunni majority. Sunni Islam sees Egypt as an important part of its religion not only due to Quranic verses mentioning the country, but also due to the Al-Azhar University, a school for religion studies and works and one of the earliest Universities of the World.
