It later became a significant part of the Roman Empire, the Ottoman Empire, and an Italian colony, which is reflected in its diverse architecture, such as the historic Medina and the Red Castle (Assai al-Hamra).
Government of National Unity
The Government of National Unity (GNU) is a term most notably applied to the post-apartheid coalition government in South Africa, formed in 1994 following the country’s first multiracial elections.

Its iconic cultural sites, such as the Pyramids of Giza and the temples of Luxor, are monumental remnants of this pharaonic past that spanned millennia. Following periods of foreign rule, Egypt became a republic in 1953, with its rich historical legacy continuing to define its cultural identity today.
