Egypt
As the oldest civilisation on earth, with a history stretching back 5,000 years, it's no surprise that Egypt has long attracted visitors from all four corners of the globe. Whether it's the spectacle of the Pyramids and the Sphinx; museums displaying mankind's most precious treasures; natural wonders like the desert or the Mediterranean coastline; or all the excitement of Cairo, a buzzing 21st century metropolis and Africa's biggest city - Egypt has it all. And with that sort of competition, little wonder the hotels work so hard to grab your attention!
The holy month of Ramadan is projected to commence 21 August 2009 and will continue for 30 days. The serving of food at open-air restaurants will be located in an area that is cordoned off by partitions and hotels may place temporary partitioning around open-air restaurants to enable service to be provided for clients. Service of alcohol to non-Muslims will only be permitted from 1900 - 0200 hours. Please call your reservations consultant for further details.
