Egypt could be said to have six
different tourist super-sites. Each has its own flavour, and mostly each
serves a different purpose. Surprisingly, or perhaps not, most of these
tourist areas do not depend on ancient monuments to sustain them. In fact,
only Luxor is completely dependent on this trade. These consist of:
Alexandria and the immediate area around the City. It could in fact be
argued that this area extends to Marsa Matruh to the west on the coast. The area has a Mediterranean feel about it, and the attraction is the
Mediterranean Sea, and to the people of Cairo, a somewhat cooler climate. Cairo
and the immediate area around the City. Cairo has everything. Cairo
has great hotels, entertainment, restaurants, all manner of monuments from
throughout the history of Egypt and it is often the entry point for most people
visiting Egypt. It even has bowling allies and several golf courses to chose
from. Luxor, and the surrounding area. Luxor is a living museum with vast
numbers of ancient Egyptian monuments. It is also highly oriented to
tourists, and might be thought of in the same regard as a theme park, where the
attractions just happen to be real monuments. Aswan and the surrounding area.
Aswan is probably the least of the super-site tourist areas, but has great
hotels, along with the huge Lake Nasser just to the south. Hurghada and the
surrounding area, particularly El Gouna. Not to far apart are El Gouna,
Hurghada and Safaga, and these areas contain just about everything a tourist
would like to have, with the exception of ancient monuments. They make up
for that with every variety of water sports, several golf courses, casinos and
more. The Red Sea area has less of an Egyptian feel, but not as European as the
Sinai. Sharm El Sheikh, and the surrounding area including Sharks Bay. This is the Sinai super-site, again with most everything any tourist might wish.
There are even some wonderful Christian monuments nearby, and the water sports,
as at Hurghada, are all inclusive. This is not to say that there are many more
tourist destinations, particularly on the Red Sea and in Sinai, and on Egypt's
mainland interior, the oases. However, in much of the rest of the mainland
interior, travel and destinations are limited. However, the tourist super-sites
encompass perhaps ninety-five percent of the ancient monuments, and most else
there is to do in Egypt.
In the 5th century BC Herodotus
wrote of Egypt that 'nowhere are there so many marvellous things...nor in the
world besides are to be seen so many things of unspeakable greatness' - and not
too much has changed. The Sphinx, the Nile, ancient Luxor, the pyramids -
Egypt's scope is glorious. It's not just the Pharaonic monuments that have drawn
travellers to this country since long before the birth of Christ - it's the
legacy of the Greeks, Romans and early Christians, and the profusion of art and
architecture accumulated from centuries of successive Islamic dynasties.
