The Ancient Egyptian civilization developed along the Nile River more than 7000 years ago. It is recognizable for its temples, hieroglyphs, mummies, and above all, the Pyramids. Apart from visiting and seeing the ancient temples and artefacts of ancient Egypt, there is also a lot to see in each city. Each city in Egypt has its own charm and its own history, culture, activities. Egypt stimulates the imagination of tourists as one of the most popular tourist destinations worldwide. So.. let’s start our journey. CAIRO Cairo is the capital city of Egypt, with a total population of 16 million people. The metropolitan city is one of the largest in Africa, the largest in the Middle East and the Arab world, and the 15th largest in the world. Cairo is associated with ancient Egypt, where the Great pyramids of Giza and the ancient city of Memphis exist. It is famous for its own history, preserved in the medieval Islamic city and Coptic sites in Old Cairo. Though firmly attached to the past, Cairo is also home to a vibrant modern society. The Midan Tahrir area situated in downtown Cairo has strived to be a "Paris on the Nile." Cairo has the oldest and largest film and music industries in the Arab world, as well as the world's second-oldest institution of higher learning, Al-Azhar University. Journey of The Pharaohs LUXOR Luxor, the "world's greatest open-air museum” on the West Bank of the Nile, is the home to the ruins of temple complexes and human headed sphinxes. Most of the ruins and tombs still remain, including the Valley of the Kings, which contains the famous Tomb of Tutankhamen which was found in pristine condition and the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut at Deir El Bahary. Nearby, a number of ancient temples and Theban Necropolis are located: the Temple of Medinat Habu, Colossi of Memnon, the Ramesseum, the Valley of the Queens and the Valley of the Nobles. While in Luxor, one cannot miss the Hot Air Balloon trip; offering a fantastic view from above of the West Bank of Luxor. Journey of The Pharaohs ASWAN Going south along the River Nile lies the smaller city of Aswan, the home of many granite quarries from which most of the Obelisks in Luxor were sourced. The river is wide, slow and beautiful, with the colorful Nubian villages featuring the traditions of the lives of the Nubians. The Philae Temple is the most visited temple in Aswan and the last in the classical Egyptian architectural style. In the south of Aswan lies the Unfinished Obelisk, the largest obelisk carved directly out of bedrock. Sailing towards the West Bank by felucca are located the Elephantine Island and the Botanical Garden. The High Dam is a modern landmark across the Nile built between 1960 and 1970. Accessible and usually combined with an Aswan tour is the visit to the iconic temples of Abu Simbel, situated on the western bank of Lake Nasser. Red Sea Authentic Escape HURGHADA Boasting a number of superb beaches and famous for its great diving opportunities, Hurghada has a variety of other sea activities, including scuba- diving, snorkeling, windsurfing, parasailing, kitesurfing, waterskiing and jet skiing. You can also ride a glass bottom boat where you can see the gardens of corals and the exotic marine life. There are many islands to visit, such as Giftun and Mahmya Islands - the most famous for diving and snorkeling. Combine adventure with dramatic desert scenery as you take to the sands on a quad bike, using the sunset against the Sinai mountains as your backdrop, or head into the heart of the desert by jeep. In the evening, you can go for a walk in the promenade area for some traditional cafes, shopping, or dining. There is bowling and a family entertainment center nearby as well as a few malls and restaurants. Night life usually begins quite late, and you can find some clubs in close proximity to the promenade. Red Sea Authentic Escape SAHL HASHEESH 15 minutes from Hurghada International Airport, the community is situated on a beautiful bay, long-renowned as a gorgeous seaside and diving destination with 12.5 kilometers of pristine sandy beaches. Sahl Hasheesh is the authentic Red Sea escape offering guests and residents many options from fun-in-the-sun, golfing, water sports and a thriving nightlife to tranquility and peace. Sahl Hasheesh's Old Town district is the heart of the community and home to a variety of high-end retail outlets serving hotel guests, residents and day visitors. Taking a stroll down the beachside boardwalk offers beautiful views, an exciting ambience and a wide selection of designer brands, jewelry and souvenirs. Red Sea Authentic Escape SHARM EL SHEIKH Sharm – as its known locally – has become one of Egypt's leading tourist destinations thanks to its resorts, gorgeous beaches, and bounty of sightseeing attractions. Diverse marine life and hundreds of Red Sea coral reef sites make Sharm El Sheikh a magnet for divers and eco-tourists. Naama Bay, the resort district's stunning natural bay boasts some of the city's most popular cafés, restaurants, and bazaars. It's the place to go for tourist-friendly entertainment. Pharaoh's Island’s outstanding natural beauty is complemented by its 12th-century citadel, see it by booking a boat tour! Ras Muhammad National Park, at the tip of the peninsula is one of Sharm El Sheikh's best snorkeling spots. The coastal national park is home to thousands of species, including crustaceans and turtles. For sightseers who don't fancy the three-hour climb up Mount Sinai, one of the world’s oldest Christian monasteries, Saint Catherine’s Monastery, lies right at its feet. It was built 1,500 years ago!

  • Check List of Plankton of the Northern Red Sea
    Pakistan Journal of Marine Sciences, Vol. 9(1& 2), 61-78,2000. CHECK LIST OF PLANKTON OF THE NORTHERN RED SEA Zeinab M. El-Sherif and Sawsan M. Aboul Ezz National Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries, Kayet Bay, Alexandria, Egypt. ABSTRACT: Qualitative estimation of phytoplankton and zooplankton of the northern Red Sea and Gulf of Aqaba were carried out from four sites: Sharm El-Sheikh, Taba, Hurghada and Safaga. A total of 106 species and varieties of phytoplankton were identified including 41 diatoms, 53 dinoflagellates, 10 cyanophytes and 2 chlorophytes. The highest number of species was recorded at Sharm El-Sheikh (46 spp), followed by Safaga (40 spp), Taba (30 spp), and Hurghada (23 spp). About 95 of the recorded species were previously mentioned by different authors in the Red Sea and Gulf of Suez. Eleven species are considered new to the Red Sea. About 115 species of zooplankton were recorded from the different sites. They were dominated by four main phyla namely: Arthropoda, Protozoa, Mollusca, and Urochordata. Sharm El-Sheikh contributed the highest number of species (91) followed by Safaga (47) and Taba (34). Hurghada contributed the least (26). Copepoda dominated the other groups at the four sites. The appearances of Spirulina platensis, Pediastrum simplex, and Oscillatoria spp. of phyto­ plankton in addition to the rotifer species and the protozoan Difflugia oblongata of zooplankton impart a characteristic feature of inland freshwater discharge due to wastewater dumping at sea in these regions resulting from the expansion of cities and hotels along the coast. KEY WORDS: Plankton, Northern Red Sea, Check list.

  • The Challenges Confronting Egyptian Animators, Application on Sharm El Sheikh and Hurghada Resorts
    Journal of the Faculty of Tourism and Hotels-University of Sadat City, Vol. 4, Issue (2/1), December, 2020 The Challenges Confronting Egyptian Animators, Application on Sharm El Sheikh and Hurghada Resorts Ahmed Mohamed Atef1 Nahla Mohamed Helmy Ibrahim2 1The Higher Institute for Specific Studies, Giza 2The High Institute of Tourism, Hotels and Restoration, Abu Qir, Alexandria Abstract Animation is an indispensable part of entertainment within resorts. In spite of that, it is infrequently handled in studies and researches. Egyptian animators are not easily hired in Egyptian resorts as they confront real challenges in their work. The aim of this paper is to address the main challenges facing Egyptian animators in work and offer solutions to them in order to increase the number of Egyptians filling the animator job vacancies as well as encouraging many young Egyptians joining the animation career. To fulfill this aim, the paper has utilized an interview with managers of (30) resorts in Sharm El Sheikh and Hurghada plus a questionnaire distributed among (150) Egyptian animators working in these resorts. The research has reached to a conclusion that the main problems facing Egyptian animators are the low salary, shortage of qualified animators, absence of recognized and professional training or education for qualifying or certifying animators in Egypt and finally, no guarantee of career path for animation staff. It is recommended that there must be support from the governmental associations to encourage Egyptian youth joining such a career. Moreover, there must be efforts exerted by resorts‘ management to improve Egyptian animators‘ work life condition in terms of salary, workload and implementation of specialized animation training.
