Egypt is high on the list of destinations for Canadian travellers this year, according to Goway’s AFRICAExperts General Manager, Moira Smith. Reinforcing that statement is a recent announcement by Egyptian Tourism Minister Zoheir Garrana that the number of people visiting Egypt increased more than 25 percent in the financial year 2007/8.

“Our passenger numbers to Egypt have increased 38% over last year”, commented Moira Smith, General Manager. “Increased demand is attributed to our wide and varied product range, which satisfies the demands of all budgets and styles of travel. We’ve even expanded our destinations to enhance more extensions to destinations such as Israel and Jordon”.

“Reflecting the value of our programs, we are also offering up to 6 nights free accommodation at a deluxe Red Sea Resort to passengers booking our Classic Egypt, Mysteries & Magic of Egypt, Ancient Wonders or Pyramids to Petra tours before December 31st, 2008″.
