Emirates Holidays Egypt package soon

Emirates Holidays to announce an exciting new Egyptian tourist package soon, tailormade for GCC nationals and expatriates alike.

"Taking our customers beyond Cairo and its world-famous landmarks, the pyramids and the Sphinx, is our mission," says Timothy-Lane Stott, Emirates Holidays Marketing Manager for the Middle East, Africa and the CIS.

"Traditionally the GCC tourist will do a three to five day visit to Egypt visiting mainly to Cairo and Sharm el Sheikh. But, with the Valley of Kings, the Valley of Queens, 67 tombs including those of the greatest pharaohs like Ramses, Seti and Tutankhamon and innumerable temples and museums on both the East and West Banks of the Nile, Luxor offers the tourist incomparable value for their money," says Timothy.

Emirates Holidays' new tourist packages beyond Cairo will be tailormade to suit individuals' needs and can include Cairo, a trip on the Nile up to Aswan, and a visit to Luxor for any number of days.

Currently Emirates offers one flight per day on the Dubai to Cairo route, but these can easily expanded should the tourist trade justify it. The one night stay-over in Dubai on the existing Egypt tourist package is also very popular with non-Dubai residents.

Other advantages on this tourist route are also the relatively short 3.5 hour flight to Cairo, good weather all year round and a dramatically improved tourist infrastructure throughout the whole of Egypt.

Full details of the new tourist packages including new ones to China and Moscow will be released at a holiday fair at the Dubai Grand Hyatt Hotel in April this year. This promises to be huge event to be attended by 235 travel agencies and representatives of 37 countries.
