Beauty queens eagerly took memorial photos during their visit to the beaches of Giftun Island where they spent a full day on its beach.
Tourism expert Mohamed Eid Suleiman explained that hosting this competition is a continuation of the efforts to support incoming tourism to the city of Hurghada, as it is one of the most important beach tourism cities in the world.
The competition includes several tourist tours for participants, including sea trips, diving trips, and a city tour to get acquainted with the tourist attractions of Hurghada, with the aim of marketing and promoting tourism in the Red Sea online.
