Egypt's tourism sector, which has suffered in the aftermath of "Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant" (ISIL) violence, on Sunday (August 7th) launched an online portal designed to attract international visitors, Egypt's Ahram Online reported.
The website, launched by the Ministry of Tourism in co-operation with the Ministry of Communications, is offered in 14 languages and features 250 touristic attraction points.
It aims to promote tourism in Egypt and show the "real image" of the country, said Minister of Tourism Yehia Rashed, adding that Egypt must regain its position on the world touristic map.
The website is divided into four areas: the Nile Valley, the Red Sea, the Mediterranean Sea and the Western Desert.
Minister of Communications Yasser El-Qady said the website’s content will be updated regularly and will eventually allow tourists to book accommodation.
