General Assembly between a wonder of the world

The Swiss Federation of travel agency has a tradition that all two years the general assembly is far away.

In 2007, this event was in Cairo the capital city of Egypt. This short slide show will offer a short

overview from the idée to create an event with overvalue for members.

During the four day trip to Cairo, the 200 travelled with members had more than a factual general

assembly. Trips to the pyramids, sphinx and the historic city of Cairo gave time for more than

business talk.

The following advantages has a general assembly abroad:

� all members are not busy with daily business

� the participants are more open for compromises

� the focus is on the general assembly

� the members become acquainted with other members

� it is an event you will talk about in a few years

� it is an interesting chance to socialise with a new city or country

General Assembly between a wonder of the world

� Cairo is the capital of Egypt and, with a total population in excess of 16 million people, one of the

largest cities in both Africa and the Middle East (which regions it conveniently straddles). It is also

the 13th largest city in the world, and among the world's densest cities.

� Situated on the River Nile, Cairo is famous for its own history, preserved in the fabulous medieval

Islamic City and Coptic sites in Old Cairo. The Egyptian Museum in the centre of town is a must see,

with its countless Ancient Egyptian artifacts, as is shopping at the Khan al-Khalili bazaar. No trip to

Cairo would be complete, for example, without a visit to the Giza Pyramids, to nearby Saggara.

� Though firmly attached to the past, Cairo is also home to a vibrant modern society. The Midan Tahir

area, built in the 19th century under the rule of Khedive Ismail, has strived to be a "Paris on the

Nile". There also are a number of more modern suburbs including Ma‘adi and Helipolis, while

Zamalek is a quiet area on Gezira Island, with upscale shopping. Cairo is best in the fall or spring,

when the weather isn't so hot. A felucca ride on the Nile is a good way to escape from the busy city,

as is a visit to al-Azhar Park.
