In the land of Egypt, so ancient and grand
There are treasures to find, across the vast land
From pyramids tall, to deserts so wide
The history of Egypt, cannot be denied

In the heart of Cairo, a museum so grand
Holds artifacts from pharaohs, in every command
You'll see golden masks, and statues so old
That tell tales of riches, and stories untold

In the Valley of Kings, lies a tomb of a king
With treasures and riches, fit for a fling
But beware of the curse, that some say is true
For the secrets of Egypt, may come back to haunt you

In the hot desert sun, the sands gently shift
As camels trek onward, to an oasis so swift
And in the delta, where the Nile meets the sea
Lies a land so fertile, where crops grow with glee

So come explore Egypt, with all of its wonder
From the pyramids to the pharaohs, and all that's under
For in this land of mystery, and stories so old
The secrets of the past, are waiting to be told.
