Meeting Venues in Egypt   |   Incentive Programs

More than 4,000 years have passed since the ancient Egyptian Pharaohs ruled the Middle East. But their remarkable culture on the Nile still has the power to overwhelm its visitors. Modern, bustling Cairo is home to the world famous Egyptian Museum of Antiquities and the Tomb of King Tut, as well as magnificent Islamic mosques and bazaars where shopping is exotic and rewarding. Memphis, the capital of the old kingdom and one of EgyptÕs most important cities seduces travelers with its Alabaster Sphinx and a beautifully carved statue of Ramses II, while the Pyramids and the Sphinx of Giza remain among the great wonders of the world.
