The Campaign

The Egyptian Tourism Authority kicked off their latest campaign with this moving mosaic of authentic Egyptian imagery. Edited to a fast-paced piece of original music, #ThisIsEgypt follows a group of young people around the country, as they explore various off-the-beaten-path locations through their smartphone lenses: from the bustling alleyways of downtown Cairo to the serene beaches of Marsa Alam; the inviting colors of the Nubian Village to the old wonders of the Nile Valley, the heights of the Sinai mountains to the depths of the Red Sea. The film was an invitation to locals to play their part in an important national movement, by sharing glimpses of their Egyptian experiences with the rest of the world.
