Why? Tourism is one of the most important channels for the national income. As Egypt is well known as one of the oldest historical countries in the world and known for the pyramids and the famous monuments, after the revolution tourism had a very big hit and we want to do a project to improve our tourism status and help in promoting Egypt, not just the well know places but even the touristic and cultural places that no one knows about them.
