The ties between our countries go back a long way, and my own family has for several generations brought home good and lasting memories from your beautiful country. Not least my father, Prince Henrik, who had a great love for Egypt, which also became his last destination.A love that many Danes share once they have immersed themselves in the rich Egyptian nature, culture, and history.”
