DESERT AND OASIS

Far from fecund banks of Nile, Egypt consist of a broad ocean of gold dunes and rocky lowlands. El Fayoum, Kharga, Dakhla, Farafra, Bahariya and Siwa: the Western oases of Egypt seem to be islands, not only among the endless expanse of Saharan sand, but also in time. In the middle of the White desert, from time immemorial, winds sculpted the rocks of limestone in strange forms: mushrooms, cones, columns and trays. In dusk and at dawn, these white trainings shine with a coloured brightness and pastel. Admire the survey of the sun during a promenade with back of camel, or the spectacular views which give the summits of the dunes of sand in the middle of the majestic expanse of the desert. The lovers of nature will be dazzled by a mottled multitude of rare birds. The day, slip under the shade of a palm into an idyllic oasis then, the night fallen on the camping, share the tea which give you the Bedouins. Finally, comfort your body and your soul in a sulphurous source of hot water. You will have feeling to have bared all big secrets of the desert

NILE VALLEY

Discover the eternal Egypt of the Pharaohs and Great Pyramids, the last remaining wonders in the world, from the banks of the world’s second longest river, the Nile. The traces of this 5000 years civilization border the river valley for more than a thousand kilometers.

Alexandria and its legendary port shines as the “Pearl of the Eastern Mediterranean” with its oriental flair and deep historical, cultural and archaeological heritage, and along all the North Coast with its stunning beaches. Cairo embodies 150 generations of history, with the Great Pyramids rising on the Giza Plateau. The magnificent columned halls in the temple of Karnak in Luxor have been impressing visitors for millennia. In Aswan, a lasting impression is left by the enchanting river scenery of the First Cataract. The grand finale of a journey into the deep south of Egypt is the awesome Temple of Ramses II in Abu Simbel.

In front of such scenery, a Nile cruise becomes a journey of personal discovery, through a land which nourishes one’s imagination and touches the heart

Tourism is travel for recreational, leisure or business purposes. The World Tourism Organization defines tourists as people who "travel to and stay in places outside their usual environment for more than twenty-four (24) hours and not more than one consecutive year for leisure, business and other purposes not related to the exercise of an activity remunerated from within the place visited."^[1]
Tourism has become a popular global leisure activity. In 2008, there were over 922 million international tourist arrivals, with a growth of 1.9% as compared to 2007. International tourism receipts grew to US$944 billion (euro 642 billion) in 2008, corresponding to an increase in real terms of 1.8%.^[2] As a result of the late-2000s recession, international travel demand suffered a strong slowdown beginning in June 2008, with growth in international tourism arrivals worldwide falling to 2% during the boreal summer months.^[3] This negative trend intensified during 2009, exacerbated in some countries due to the outbreak of the H1N1 influenza virus, resulting in a worldwide decline of 4% in 2009 to 880 million international tourists arrivals, and an estimated 6% decline in international tourism receipts.^[4]
Tourism is vital for many countries, such as Egypt, Greece, Lebanon, Spain, Malaysia and Thailand, and many island nations, such as The Bahamas, Fiji, Maldives, Philippines and the Seychelles, due to the large intake of money for businesses with their goods and services and the opportunity for employment in the service industries associated with tourism. These service industries include transportation services, such as airlines, cruise ships and taxicabs, hospitality services, such as accommodations, including hotels and resorts, and entertainment venues, such as amusement parks, casinos, shopping malls, music venues and theatres.
