First Egyptian individual record in Guinness World Records

For the first time in the Arab world, Mr.Hesham nessim broke Guinness World Records for the fastest vehicle crossing the great sand sea in Egypt .The journey took place on the 5th of March 2009 and it began from the Gilf Kebir plateau and ended at the Siwa Oasis. The distance between the starting point and the final one is 570 kilometers, but the real distance in which the adventurer crossed was 650 kilometers in 5 hours and 33 minutes. The average speed of the adventurer was 140 kilometers.
Cairo has lot to live up to; the Jewel of the Orient, the City of the Thousand Minarets and the Melting Pot of Ancient and Modern Egyptian Civilizations are just a few of its monikers. To take in some of the Egyptian capital's magnitude, you can visit the Antiquities Museum, which houses King Tut's earthly goods. See the massive Citadel and Khan Al-Khalili bazaar. Leave driving to the locals and travel by taxi or book a car and driver. Transfer to a camel at the the pyramids and brave the gaze of the Sphinx.
Discover the eternal Egypt of the Pharaohs and Great Pyramids, the last remaining wonders in the world, from the banks of the world’s second longest river, the Nile. The traces of this 5000 years civilization border the river valley for more than a thousand kilometers.
Alexandria and its legendary port shines as the “Pearl of the Eastern Mediterranean” with its oriental flair and deep historical, cultural and archaeological heritage, and along all the North Coast with its stunning beaches. Cairo embodies 150 generations of history, with the Great Pyramids rising on the Giza Plateau. The magnificent columned halls in the temple of Karnak in Luxor have been impressing visitors for millennia. In Aswan, a lasting impression is left by the enchanting river scenery of the First Cataract. The grand finale of a journey into the deep south of Egypt is the awesome Temple of Ramses II in Abu Simbel.

In front of such scenery, a Nile cruise becomes a journey of personal discovery, through a land which nourishes one’s imagination and touches the heart.
