Teeing Off With the Pharaohs

Can we possibly give you any more reasons to travel to Egypt? Okay, the odd attack on tourists and the necessity of traveling around in police-surrounded cavalcades could put you off a bit, but if you look past the security hassles, Egypt seems to really have everything. Including, somewhat surprisingly for a big desert, golf courses.

The Fly Golf company--specializing in golf tours of Egypt, something we would have considered a real niche market--markets itself with the touching slogan "Take off, tee off, we care." And their website visually confirms the unexpected: they really do have greens in Egypt. Five golf courses surround Cairo, more can be found near Luxor, and they're starting to spring up along the Red Sea. So when you're planning your next golfing holiday, think desert, sea and golf greens--they care.
