History
Join in Egypt corresponded landmarks and monuments that still exist and Troy chapters of its history since the Pharaonic era, the first in many museum collections of Egyptian, which records precise details about the life of nations and peoples who lived in the Nile Valley since about 7000, and even in our time.
Perhaps it can be said that the history of Egypt is different about the history of many of the countries that recorded history, according to the succession of political regimes that wisdom, that in Egypt's history recorded successive civilizations and left after the demise of the legacy received by the back adds to it.
The history of Egypt interfere where the novel archaeological and historical with novel religious, between the story of families of ancient Pharaonic what came in the heavenly books of stories of our prophets who crossed Egypt and lived there and the relationships of these its people Copts down to the beginning of the Arab Islamic history which is the launch of the actual modern Egypt when taken conqueror Amr bin Aas from the site of the capital of Fustat, Cairo mandate.
We have codified the novel religious history of Egypt, but the direction of inspiration lessons and sermons and instill the values of standardization and the right to justice and the call to worship the one God and with the beginning of the Islamic Arab rule began writing the history of Egypt takes the attributes of documentation and arrangement and detail frequently about narrators and recording in the first books.
Egypt has received documented evidence on sensory more than any other country Vnicoh pharaohs and hieroglyphics that language decoded Champollion wrote narrators combine with Arabs and Muslims and with the religious novel that came in the heavenly books and records up to the narrators and travelers and explorers and Western Orientalists.
Egypt museum not bounded by space and time, the evidence and landmarks Troy civilizations and stories of the Copts and the Pharaohs and the Holy Family and the Greeks and Romans and Arabs and Muslims who have settled in nearly 15 centuries where and recognized the Arab identity of the Islamic roots of civilization multiple, and where the effects of the hallmarks of the invaders who have dared to hope and have crossed and left of Frenchmen and Englishmen and others .
Civilized state can acknowledge that modern Egypt was established with the beginning of the era of the great family of Muhammad Ali, who came from Albania and the Ottoman ruler of his mandate so he veered toward independence and laid the foundations of the renaissance of modern European civilization, looking forward to the young and the carrier about their methods and their manifestations.
The continued provision of this family that took over the reins of the Egyptians in their country July 23, 1952 to begin the era of the Egyptian republic to take over the late President Gamal Abdel Nasser rudderless leadership directed towards asserting its bond and the Arab-Islamic identity and its leading role in the Arab region until the present time.
With the beginning of the nineteenth century, Egypt has witnessed two waves Astmaritin coming from Europe, is the first French expedition led by Napoleon in 1798 and left traces of civilization on Egyptian society, and the second is the British occupation in 1882, which lasted until Gelaúh after the revolution of July 1952.

Incentives and facilities for tourism investment
The government placed on top of the list of priorities of its policy to encourage the private sector, local and international, to invest in the various sectors of production and services and play a greater role in the development of the national economy, and for that government gives investors a range of incentives, exemptions and facilities, providing for the establishment of tourism projects that are held areas of the desert, such as Ain Sokhna area and Zafarana the following incentives:
1 exemption from profit tax for a period of ten years starting from the fiscal year that comes after startup.
2 the possibility of renewing the period of exemption from profit tax for five more years with the approval of the Council of Ministers.
3 exemption from stamp tax on capital.
4 exemption from stamp tax and registration requirements for all construction contracts until the date on which the implementation of the project.
Fourth, data and figures about tourism in Egypt
"Arab tourists come on top of our priorities is not for links and cultural nationalism and by, but also because Arab tourists stay longer and spending more, and therefore is better for care, a first-class citizen in Egypt, the house of the Arabs."
"We and several years ago we urge the Egyptian tourism sector to understand the dimensions of the current and future developments in the global tourism market and urge them to prepare for them through a process of concentration and integration into larger entities be able to work in all circumstances."
Central Bank data show that the Egyptian tourism revenues in 4314 were 1999/2000 million dollars, and payments were 1028 million dollars, and became a surplus of $ 3286 million, which represents the proportion of 76.3% of the total revenue. In fiscal year 4317 revenues were 2000/2001 million and payments of $ 1054 million dollar surplus by 3263, 75.6% of total revenues.
Tourism industry labor-intensive and with a multiplier effect on the industry and service 70 and nutritious complementary (the study of the World Tourism Organization), which provides employment opportunities in multiple activities and professions directly and indirectly.
Tourism activities are more environmentally friendly, investor committed to self-preservation of the environment because it is marketed as one of the components of the tourism product, and keep them as they form the background that can not be without it sells tourism product in the present or the future.
What was raised for the local investment still represents 83% of the volume of investment in the tourism sector does not reflect the reality of investment in this activity attractive nature of foreign investment and sufficient reference to the exact figures available and documented on the investments made in the areas of the Tourism Development Authority, which increased hotel capacity where to 32 thousand rooms, where represent Arab and foreign investments in which 32% of the total cost of which amounts to 6.23 billion pounds, other than the cost of the infrastructure, facilities and services.
It is hoped that the inclusion of the ministry invitation to invest in the development of tourism in Egypt within the plan activation and promotion, executed in foreign markets as one of the attractions to a significant increase in that ratio, especially in light of the changes that began in the direction of the movement of investment flows at the international level since the events of September / September 2001.
