Some General Facts about Egypt If you are
looking forward to a tour of Egypt in the near
future, you should be sure you have some general
information about Egypt. Egypt is an Arab
Republic located in North Africa bordering the
Mediterranean Sea. It has the Red Sea in its
west. Sudan lies in the South, while Libya
occupies a place in the West. Egypt has an area
of 1,001,450 square km. A large part of it is
made of desert, although quite a bit of it is
occupied by the Nile River. With scanty rainfall
all over, the Nile River remains the sole source
of moisture for a large populace. Egypt houses
the Suez Canal that acts as a shortcut between
sailors who intend to sail from Europe to Western
Asia and India. It provides a better route than
having to travel all the way around the African
continent. It has Cairo as its capital city,
which lies in the north east.

Are Kings Buried In The Valley of the Kings? The
Egyptians did build mighty pyramids to make the
pharaohs era memorable, but some other hidden
mausoleums were also made in that era. One of the
most famous of these mausoleums is the Valley of
the Kings. This is located near Luxor, an ancient
city of Egypt to the west of the river Nile.
These tombs contain evidences of a hefty
preparation for the life in the world after
death. A colossal amount of treasures and clothes
were stacked in such tombs to help the dead
royalty in the other world. The bodies of the
dead were preserved by the process of
mummification.   The first mummy to form a part
of an exhibit in a museum was the Ginger. It was
dug out in the later years of the 19th century,
and is on display at the British Museum. It is
believed to belong to the era of 3400 BC.
