Egypt, a country linking northeast Africa with the Middle East, dates to the time of the pharaohs. Millennia-old monuments sit along the fertile Nile River Valley, including Giza's colossal Pyramids and Great Sphinx as well as Luxor's hieroglyph-lined Karnak Temple and Valley of the Kings tombs. The capital, Cairo, is home to Ottoman landmarks like Muhammad Ali Mosque and the Egyptian Museum, a trove of antiquities.

Sesto continente (1954)
Long underwater documentary, and sort of a scientific diary, with a group of scientists, sportsmen and journalists, filmed at the Red Sea around the Dahlak Islands, the Egyptian coast, Sudan and Eritrea, the deserted Brother and Zabargadh islands, the calm waters of Gubbet Mus Nefit Bay and the coral forest of Shawdan. Sharks, barracuda, venomous fish and deadly mantas add excitement to the sharp black and water photography.
