As he wanted the Egyptian people to love him as they did the previous Egyptian pharoahs of old , by showing them that he too believed in their great…

It's a UNESCO World Heritage extravaganza, from pyramids and Sphinx of Giza to the feluccas of the Nile down to Luxor with its Temple of Karnak and Valley of the Kings, to Abu Simbel in Aswan (with extra points for the vibrant city of Alexandria). Meanwhile, the Sinai Peninsula is alluring for…

For some hot adventure head out to remote Siwa Oasis, nine hour drive west of Cairo, and try plummeting down its steep sand dunes. While sandsurfing is the main attraction in Siwa, there are also ancient tombs and temples to discover in Indiana Jones style. And of course on the way to or from here, don't forget to experience the history and culture of…
Read more…Victor Block I’m in Cairo on a hotel balcony overlooking the Nile River, a fantasy destination I’ve heard about my whole life - and at long last I’m here. I needed to take a minute and revel in that. And recognize that thanks to Overseas Adventure Travel’s (OAT) "Ancient Egypt and the Nile River Tour" I was about to begin a magical journey through 6,000 years of history. And then accept the hard truth. How do you capture 6,000 years of history in 1,200 words, the limit that many travel…

hi David
let me tell you that the muslims said that they will prevent selling alcohol in public places and they will let the tourist to get his alcoholic drinks with him without any problems and as for the bikinis and beaches they said they can not prevent any one of wearing the bikini but the most important thing is that the tourists who love Egypt because of it's attraction and beauty will not care about who is ruling and they will apply the rules because they are coming to experience Egypt and they know quite well that Egypt is not a place only for alcohol and bikini but Egypt is a place with a great value
Are any of you Egypt tourism professionals concerned that Muslims and Salafists taking over may lead to extremist measures as in Saudi Arabia and Iran (no alcohol, no bikinis on beaches) that may drive more tourists away?
