Egypt’s northernmost region, the Delta, an immense green triangle that opens up between the branches of the River Nile, between Rosetta and Damietta, reveals the beauty of the ancient vestiges of the Pharaonic and Greco-Roman past, with the sites of Tanis and Bubastis and the cosmopolitan capital desired by Alexander the Great, Alexandria, and strikes one with the austerity of the monuments of Coptic Christianity with the splendid monasteries scattered throughout the area and the extraordinary engineering of the Suez Canal.
The Delta region, inhabited since the dawn of Pharaonic civilisation, rich and fertile due to the abundance of water, in a strategic position on the Mediterranean, saw the birth of cities and sanctuaries and was the cradle of ancient local traditions and myths.
A journey through archaeology, spirituality and great works of modern man that, far from the most crowded tourist destinations, recounts a little-known but very suggestive and fascinating Egypt.
