      Ein Land voller faszinierender Welterbestätten und zugleich mit vielen touristischen Klischees behaftet. Das ist Ägypten. Es verzauberte seine Besucher schon Jahrtausende bevor der Pauschalreisepionier Thomas Cook mit seinem Dampschiff den Nil hinauftuckerte. Hier fand die Heilige Familie Zuflucht, bewies Alexander der Große sein Eroberungstalent und zeigte Marcus Antonius an Kleopatra seine Flirtkunst. Napoleon war gerade mal so lange da, um ein parr Obelisken mitgehen zu lassen und die Ottomanen kamen vorbei, um dem Gottesstaatgründer Mohammed Ali Pascha Rückendeckung zu geben. Die Briten bleiben, bis sie das Bahnsystem im Land installiert hatten. All das passierte jedoch erst lange, nachdem der frühe Pharao Narmer Ober- und Unterägypten zu einem Staat vereinte und damit die Bühne für eine der bedeutendsten Hochkulturen auf unserem Planeten bereitete.
