There is on case where it is speculated they discovered South America. Thor Heyerdahl try to prove this by building boat and sailed there from Egypt.
Hannu was an Egyptian explorer serving under Mentuhotep III. He bore the titles of Bearer of the Red Sea, Steward, Sole Companion, Chief of the Six Courts of Justice. He was overseer of the temples of horn and hoof (i.e. of the cattle). As Keeper of the Door of the South he was responsible for the defence of Egypt’s southern border and claims to have explored the Red Sea. If this is true, he was the first explorer. Hannu lived in aroud the time of 2750 B.C

Ibn Selim el-Aswani & Nehsi were two others.

Question by Veroni333: Does Anyone Know How Safe It Is To Travel In Egypt?
My family is going to Europe this summer for vacation, but before we reach Europe, we stop at Egypt for 2 days. My friend, who is Egyptian keeps saying that I will get robed, and pick pocketed in Egypt. My family is probably only going to go to the tourist sites, and stay at the hotel. So I was wondering how safe is Egypt really?

The Albert N’yanza, Great Basin of the Nile, and Explorations of the Nile Sources 2 Volume Set (Cambridge Library Collection – Travel and Exploration)

Sir Samuel Baker (1821-93) was one of the most famous Victorian explorers and hunters. First published in two illustrated volumes in 1866, this account of his most celebrated expedition is amongst the most important works of its type. Baker promises ‘to take the reader by the hand, and lead him step by step … to that high cliff … from which he shall look down upon the vast Albert Lake and drink with me from the sources of the Nile!’ Volume 1 covers the first two years of the expedition, from Cairo to southern Sudan. Volume 2 finds Baker a prisoner of a native king. Baker offers a number of ‘gifts’ to buy his release, and after an arduous journey, with his wife in a coma, in March 1864 he reaches Luta N’zige, which he renames in memory of Prince Albert. A compelling account of an historic adventure.

San Jose, California (PRWEB) January 30, 2012

Follow us on LinkedIn The fortunes in the outbound travel & leisure segment and to a certain extent, the trends in the inbound travel are very much dependent on a sound economy. Bleak economic prospects, lack of job security, low wage growth, less disposable income, high interest rates, fiscal tightening and others are all major factors that dampen the spirits and deter the traveller, thereby blocking the conduits through which money flows into the travel and tourism market. Over the coming years, travel and leisure industry outlook appears promising with rise in consumer spending on travel and tourism for both holiday and business trips. Although the global economic downturn in 2009 took a heavy toll on the travel sector world over, with drop in number of international arrivals and global outbound sales, the industry was quick to reverse the trend and get back on track in 2010. There was a marked improvement in international arrivals statistics, primarily owing to the impressive performance by developing regions such as Asia-Pacific and South America. The online travel market stayed insulated from the economic downturn, exhibiting consistent rise in sales and profitability. The vacation rental sector also defied all odds by staying afloat in the recessionary phase, mainly due to its widespread presence across the internet, thereby providing easy accessibility and affordability.

A segment that has witnessed remarkable growth in recent times is the short trips category, with low cost airlines driving up overall demand. Around 50% of outbound travel is made by air, and slashes in airlines fare across the world have had a discernible positive effect on the volume of traffic in the travel sector. In addition, with increasing number of women taking to travel for both business and leisure, the travel and leisure sector is poised for growth not just in terms of revenue, but also with respect to development of expensive and convenient women-friendly facilities. A majority of the women consumers travel abroad for business, and often combines business travels and leisure trips. Taking this into account, business hotels have improved their offerings to include women friendly services such as spas, salons, childcare facilities, and boutiques.

Asia is emerging as a significant market for both inbound and outbound tourism traffic, with China, India, and South Korea representing three major Asian destinations for majority of outbound travel. In the fray are other exotic regions outsides Asia including Mexico, Brazil, Spain, Italy, Russia, and Norway. Unconventional or second-layer vacations spots have taken over popularity of conventional destinations. Additionally, special attractions such as the multi-generational family trips and epicurean journeys are expected to become a vibrant trend in the near future. Overtaking Spain, China became the third leading nation to be most visited, while luxury cruises in Egypt, Zimbabwe and India attracted several foreign tourists.
