Egypt is one of the world's oldest civilizations and its people live with daily reminders of the past. Egyptian school children are still taught the ancient stories of the origins of the Nile, while learning about newer traditions. With over 50 per cent new images, Egypt the People examines: the many different cultures that make up modern Egypt, Islam and other religions of Egypt, festivals and family events and how village life is changing to reflect the modern world. This revised text also includes an update on terrorism and its impact on visitors to the country.
