Osman: The Director of Dubai's Promotional Film Is the Same One Who Directed "Life in Luxor"
By Akram Medhat
Mohamed Osman, a member of the tourism marketing committee for Luxor, revealed that within days the Ministry of Tourism and Luxor Governorate will each receive a copy of the documentary on life in Luxor, "Life in Luxor", gifted by the global company Canon, which was filmed with a drone camera at a cost of $500,000.
He explained that the film includes footage of all the archaeological sites, including temples and monasteries, as well as the tourist sites and life in general in the capital of ancient Egyptian civilization, "Thebes". The film was directed by Dutch director "Wagner", who directed the promotional film for the city of Dubai.
He told "Travel Yalla News" that the film includes about 1,800 high-quality photographs, which will be used at international tourism exhibitions and displayed at Luxor and Aswan airports, noting that it was agreed to put the logos of the governorate and the ministry on the copy of the film, not that of the production company, so that it becomes one of the best promotional films for the archaeological city of Luxor, which holds a third of the world's monuments.
It is worth noting that Luxor hosted, for the first time, the 10th annual conference of the global electronics company Canon at the beginning of last October, which brought together 110 people of various nationalities as part of an incentive trip. The tourist group visited the West and East Banks of Luxor, and during the visit Canon announced it would send representatives to Luxor to photograph the city's most important and beautiful tourist sites, in order to turn Luxor Airport into a museum of photographs.
Canon also decided to create large billboards to cover unfinished buildings in order to beautify the city, through a grant from the company of up to $500,000, in gratitude for the efforts of tourism sector and governorate officials in supporting the conference, which led to its success, something that will contribute strongly to reviving incentive tourism to Luxor and Aswan.
