Egypt is on my mind

"Egypt is on my mind and mouth, I love it with all my soul and blood" this is how the legendary Om Kolthoum started her song to Egypt, the song that describes the beauty of Egypt and how everyone is in love with this country. It is true that if you visit Egypt once, it will remain on your mind and soul.
Egypt is the History and Pharaohs. Egypt is the Culture and Traditions. Egypt is the Nile and Seas. Egypt is the Pyramids and Abu Simbel. Egypt is the friendly and kind hearted people. Egypt is Pride and Love. Egypt is the Western Desert and Siwa. Egypt is Sinai and Alexandria. Egypt is simply the love of my life.
Certainly ancient Egyptians established a country that fascinates the world. They have set the base for a culture that is very rich and diverse. However, it's not only Egypt's past that adds to its value, it’s the modern as well that makes it a country worth visiting. The combination between Egypt's history and its modern life has created a country that is unmatched. The country's past has developed over the years and created a modern that is full of diversity and uniqueness. Egypt's modern life, although it might be influenced by Western technology and lifestyles but there is still a bond that ties Egyptians to their original culture and values. The end result is a country that might seem like any other country from the outside, but when you dig deep, you will find a different Egypt lying inside each and every Egyptian.
