Beltagui: Nile tourism back from Cairo to Luxor

Egypt's Minister of Tourism Mamdouh el-Beltagui said that the floating hotels would start operating once again in the Nile cruises from Cairo to Luxor.

The operation would start in the first phase from Cairo to Beni Suef. The Minister pointed out that the main reason for stopping such trips was because the Nile course was in need of purification, so that its depth would permit the passage of such huge ships safely.
