“Although New Valley is not popular among Egyptian youth as a vacation trendy spot, it has a lot of fun and entertainment to offer to any traveller”, Kamel mentioned. Eco-tourism and camping spots for relaxation could be easily found and used to enjoy the beauty of nature.
Kamel added that the 8-member team included many different personalities that they made good use of where each member found his/her interest in a specific type of tourism that allowed them to focus on different angles and express the variety of options that the New Valley would provide ita visitors with through videos and photos of the different vacation spots and tourism landmarks.
