На английском языке:If someone wants to see the longest river in the world, ancient structures and real mummies, he should go Egypt. This country is situated in the north-east of Africa, although the Sinai Peninsula connects with south-west Asia. That’s why Egypt is often called a Middle East country. The population of the country is more than 86 million people, which makes it one of the most populous countries on the continent. Most people live near the Nile River banks, while the Sahara Dessert regions are hardly inhabited. Egypt borders with Israel, Sudan and Libya. It is washed by the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. Every year millions of tourists come to Egypt for beach vacation. Its favorable climate and beautiful sea scenery have turned the country into the world-class resort. Apart from that, people want to see the place where Ancient Egyptian civilization originated, the pyramids, the pharaohs’ tombs. If they are lucky, they can see the mummies at the Cairo Museum of Antiquities. The brave tourists go down the Nile River, which is the natural habitat of crocodiles. Egyptian cities differ from European ones. White stone structures and exotic plants set special atmosphere there. The Sinai Peninsula is full of posh hotels, restaurants, nightclubs, excursion agencies, souvenir shops and surfing schools. People, who visit Egypt, usually buy lots of presents for their friends and relatives. Typical Egyptian souvenirs are aroma oils and perfume bottles, papyrus, alabaster statuettes, spices, hibiscus tea, exquisite jewelry and other beautiful handmade objects
