Egypt Has it All
Egypt has been one of the success stories of the last few years. Blessed with a fascinating culture, beaches on the Red Sea and a heritage that is second to none, Egypt could be seen as almost the perfect destination. Everything is there.
Now there will be more as they develop the “White Med” which is the coastline west of Alexandria and towards El Alamein and beyond. Here, carefully controlled development will deliver what the Egyptian Minister for Tourism says will be two key features of future tourism, how tourism affects the environment and service. It has already been decided to turn Sharm into a green initiative. The number of hotel rooms is limited there and it will be the same in the White Med. Holiday offers for Britains will be available from May 2010.
The appeal of Egypt is also due to pricing. Paying the equivalent of £40 a night for four star accommodation in Cairo or Luxor is still possible. And that was a continuing theme at World Travel Market. Value for money and having a currency outside the eurozone was proving to be popular in attracting British visitors.

Dear Sir,In your article Egypt has it all well when it comes to heritage it has sadly all but been destroyed in the ancient city of Luxor. Who ever is responsible deserves to be prosecuted for the destruction of a culture a heritage and character of a once marvellous place to visit but not any more.In fact after witnessing more destruction this winter i have a feeling i will not be going back again.The changes are on a par to demolishing the souk or the medina in Sousse Tunisia or building on the well known square in Marrakesh,the Djemaa el-fna square. It would be unthinkable.Yours Sincerely
