Unique Egyptian Culture
Immerse yourself in Egypt’s rich cultural heritage. Experience the vibrant local markets, known as souks, where you can shop for traditional crafts, spices, and jewelry. Taste the flavors of Egyptian cuisine, from hearty koshari to flavorful falafel and fresh seafood. Enjoy a traditional folk dance or listen to local music that reflects Egypt’s diverse heritage.
Cultural Tours
Tourism is travel for pleasure or business; also the theory and practice of touring, the business of attracting, accommodating, and entertaining tourists, and the business of operating tours. Tourism may be international, or within the traveller’s country. The World Tourism Organization defines tourism more generally, in terms which go “beyond the common perception of tourism as being limited to holiday activity only”, as people “traveling to and staying in places outside their usual environment for not more than one consecutive year for leisure, business and other purposes”.
Tourism can be domestic or international, and international tourism has both incoming and outgoing implications on a country’s balance of payments. Today, tourism is a major source of income for many countries, and affects the economy of both the source and host countries, in some cases being of vital importance.
