The start actually begins at the Bibliotheca Alexandrina and then it’s a four hour ride to Cairo and an overnight stop at a Cairo City Centre hotel. Early the next day the team then sets off past the pyramids and on to the famous Suez Canal. The rest of the route takes in Neuwebaa, Dahab and Sharm El Sheikh as well as a ferry crossing to Hurghada. The next section is in the ancient city of Luxor where riders will be able to visit the huge collection of temples and cruise down past the sphinxes before stopping in front of Karnak temple.

Egypt is famously the land of the pharaohs. There’s Tutankhamun, the young boy who became a pharaoh of the 18th dynasty, and whose solid gold death mask is one of the most famous ancient artefacts ever found. Or Nefertiti, the wife of Pharaoh Akhenaton, who is believed to have ruled in her own right and whose beauty is the stuff of legend. Both have given unparalleled romance to the country’s history. Most of the country’s astonishing monuments that can be visited today were built during the time of the pharaohs. The Pyramids of Giza (the sole survivors of the Seven Ancient Wonders of the World), the mighty Sphinx with its body of a lion and a human head, the lotus- columned temples of Luxor and Karnak, the nearby Valley of the Kings and the Valley of the Queens, and Hatshepsut’s temple, the Deir el Bahri, have thrilled visitors to Egypt for centuries.

Assessing Therapeutic Tourism and Hotels Marketing Using the Video-Sharing
International Journal of Heritage, Tourism and Hospitality Vol. (11), No. (2/2), September, 2017 By: Faculty of Tourism and Hotels, Fayoum University Assessing Therapeutic Tourism and Hotels Marketing Using the Video-Sharing Websites in Egypt Hanaa Fayed Mohammed Farrag Karam Zaki Faculty of Tourism and Hotels, Fayoum University Abstract Social media is considered new potential wave in the online business marketing. Tourism and hospitality marketers are beginning to drive the use of social media as a new tool in their marketing plan to stretch out to customers. YouTube is a popular video-sharing site and considered one of the most important social media sites that can be used in tourism and hotels marketing to keep up with incremental changes in the information technology applications. This paper aimed to explore the advantages of using YouTube in tourism marketing in general and therapeutic tourism and hotels in particular based in Egypt. The research problem is that there is no any governmental YouTube Channel in Egypt to market the therapeutic tourism and hotels. Two phases of data collection methods were employed in this research: first, using the online content analysis of the available YouTube videos and channels; second, using questionnaire strategy targeted the Egyptian experts in the marketing field. The research implications that can be inferred from this research are twofold: first, this paper highlighted a new social media tool in E-marketing using YouTube for academics; second, it will help practitioners to depend on the developed strategy to use YouTube in marketing the Egyptian therapeutic tourism and hotels. Finally, this study recommends the need for further research to develop a conceptual framework using a mixed methods research to widen the roles for which social media can be utilized for the Egyptian marketers.
