Egypt is one of the most populous countries in Africa and the Middle East. The great majority of its estimated 75 million live near the banks of the Nile River, in an area of about 40,000 square kilometers (15,000 sq mi), where the only arable agricultural land is found. The large areas of the Sahara Desert are sparsely inhabited. About half of Egypt's residents live in urban areas, with the majority spread across the densely-populated centres of greater Cairo, Alexandria and other major cities in the Nile Delta.
Egypt is famous for its ancient civilization and some of the world's most famous monuments, including the Giza pyramid complex and its Great Sphinx. The southern city of Luxor contains numerous ancient artifacts, such as the Karnak Temple and the Valley of the Kings. Egypt is widely regarded as an important political and cultural nation of the Middle East.

Al Moudira is a fantasy palace built by a lady from Beirut with extravagant taste. It’s a cross between a 19th century Cairo mansion and a luxurious harem.
The beauty of Al Moudira is grounded in the traditions of the Arabic world, but it is also beautiful in the sense that it is so quiet and remote, yet only a stone’s throw from the Valley of the Kings. Luxor is popular as a tourist destination for good reason – because there is so much to see. But of course that doesn’t mean you necessarily want to be surrounded by the madding crowd all the time. Visit a tomb or a temple, or simply stay by the pool – that’s the true luxury of Al Moudira.
Vaulted ceilings with multicoloured skylights, Turkish baths, traditional wooden screens, fountains everywhere and the odd burst of colour from a bush of bougainvillea
