IAMOT CONFERENCE IN CAIRO 2010.
Visit Egypt
Egypt is a country that is well known for its aquatic resources as a result of the mostly infertile ecosystem. The Nile badges Egypt through a narrow valley that navigates sandstone and granite cliffs. Egypt is also well known by the temples of Abydos, Dendara, Karnak, Esna, Edfu, Kom Ombo, Philae and Abu Simbel, each regarded for their respective deities, further to the tombs in the Theban Necropolis. As the Nile River continues to flow upwards past major cities and temples, it begins to branch out into a flower-shaped formation known as the Nile delta, covering 240 km of the Mediterranean shoreline.
Red Sea coast is much like the Nile, a Turquoise waves discontinuity against rocky capes and windswept beaches in the foreground of an endless mountain range, a much needed escape for the people of Cairo. In the past two decades, this entire region saw a rapid transformation, generated by flows of annual tourists, with the most notable development being the future construction of Egypt’s new capital city near this coastline. These destinations pack exciting activities for travel-seeking vacationers, such as Shark-diving, snorkeling, and kite-surfing that are complemented by the uplifting effects of 18-hole golf courses, private beaches, open-air cinemas, and unbeatable night life scenes.
Cairo
Cairo is known as the city that never sleeps, it’s always awakened by its citizens for all its different activities and exciting places that one can visit in diverse whiles.
Past travelers said that one of Cairo's must-see attractions is the Great Sphinx, the world's oldest monumental sculpture, positioned by the Pyramids of Giza. The Great Sphinx portrays a part pharaoh, part lion being and impresses tourists with its enormous size that measures 66 feet high and 234 feet long, as well as its unique appearance.
The best way to follow up your trip to the pyramids is by visiting the Egyptian Museum that would take almost a year to explore the museum in its entirety. This massive facility contains more than 100,000 artifacts from ancient Egypt, including tombs, jewelry and pottery. The main attraction here is the Tutankhamun exhibit, which features treasures from King Tut's tomb, including his golden funeral mask. Other significant places that you can visit to in Cairo are Khan El-Khalili, Islamic Cairo and Coptic Cairo.
Luxor
In ancient times known as Thebes, Luxor was the initial capital of Upper Egypt during the New Kingdom. Luxor is recognized as one of the greatest open air museums to visit with its vast archaeological sites. The city is rich with Ancient Egyptian monuments such as Valley of the Kings that accommodates the tombs of many royal and noble figures of the Egyptian New Kingdom, most famously the Tomb of Tutankhamen. It is also home to vast ancient temples such as the Karnak Temple and Luxor Temple.
Aswan
The southern city of Aswan is the perfect travelling destination in winter. Overlooking the Nile River, Aswan is a great starting point for a Nile cruise. Aswan is located north of the Aswan Dam, and a busy touristic attraction. It is home to spectacular historical and cultural landmarks, most famously Philae Temple, El Nabatat Museum, and the Mausoleum of Agha Khan among many others. In Aswan, you can also experience the rich Nubian culture, with its beautiful music, cuisine, handicrafts and heritage. Aswan is also known for its therapeutic environment as the sand has many pain relieving properties for ailments such as rheumatism, joint edema and skin inflammation.
Alexandria
The second largest city in Egypt, the coastal city Alexandria lies at the center of Egypt's Mediterranean coastline. It is famously known for its beautiful and extended beaches. Founded by Alexander the Great, circa 332 BC, the city is rich in many Greco-Roman monuments. One of its most famous landmarks is the Montazah Palace and Bibliotheca Alexandrina.
Sharm El Sheikh
Also known as the ‘City of Peace’ since it has held numerous international peace conferences, the sunny city of Sharm El Sheikh is home to many fun sea activities, such as diving, snorkeling, sailing, wind and kite-surfing. Besides, there is also the opportunity for sky-diving and parachuting. If in the mood for relaxation or pampering, Sharm El Sheikh provides the best professional spa services in Egypt. You can also enjoy the town’s nightlife at the best local bars, lounges and beaches such as Little Buddha Bar, Hard Rock Café and more. You can also book a safari trip to the nearby Sinai desert and enjoy the spectacular landscapes and historical landmarks of Sinai, such as the Colored Canyon, Mount Sinai, St. Catherine Monastery among many others. Sharm’s culturally rich Old Market is a great place to go shopping and collecting souvenirs from your trip.
Hurghada City
Located on the Red Sead Coast, Hurghada is considered the capital of the Red Sea Riviera. The beach resort is famously known for a variety of aquatic sport activities such as scuba diving, snorkeling, yachting, wind and kite-surfing. You can enjoy a relaxing retreat at some of Hurghada’s best spas. Hurghada is a luxury beach resort town located between Sigala, El Dahar and El Memsha. In Sigala, or the city center, you can find plenty of seaside luxury resorts, mid-range hotels and restaurants. It is also an opportunity to visit some of its beautiful nearby resorts such as Sahl Hashish, Makadi Bay, and Soma Bay among others.
Siwa Oasis
In the midst of Egypt’s Western Desert lies the beautiful Oasis of Siwa. It has a beautiful nature with its water springs, salt lakes, as well as its olive and palm gardens. The Oasis’ main town, known as Shali is home to the ancient ruins famously the fortress of Shali as well as Temple of the Oracle that was once visited by Alexander the Great to consult the Oracle of Siwa. Another famous attraction is Cleopatra’s Pool which is a stone pool fed by a natural hot spring, where the Egyptian queen is believed to have swam in. Siwa is also a great opportunity for safari trips with quad bikes in the Western Desert of Egypt.
