Famously the home of the Ancient Egyptians, Egypt (Arabic: مِصر, romanized: Miṣr) has one of the longest recorded histories of any country, dating back to the 6th–4th millennia BCE. A lucrative hub of trade thanks to the Nile River delta and a popular destination to see the Giza Necropolis, Great Sphinx and the Great Pyramid, the Valley of the Kings.
