Egypt Pyramids win the "Oscar"

The World Travel Awards (WTA), known as the “Oscars of the Travel Industry”, chose the Giza Pyramids as the world’s leading attraction in 2007 during its fourteenth annual ceremony held at the Beaches Turks and Caicos Resort and Spa in the Caribbean.

Established in 1993, the WTA acknowledges, rewards and celebrates the enormous achievements found in all sectors of the global travel industry. Awards are especially coveted as the votes are cast globally by 167,000 fellow professionals from 198 countries.

Also, the Oberoi Sahl Hasheesh in the Red Sea coast won the World’s Leading All-Suite Hotel award.
