CAIRO, EGYPT--(Marketwired - Aug 24, 2016) -  Cairo Marriott Hotel & Omar Khayyam Casino has partnered with Egypt Air airlines to announce the launch of Men Tani Ala Masr, a campaign which shares a digital melting pot of memories and honest stories of Egypt from people across the globe.

The digital experience tells the tales of contributors from all over the world through social media, on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, using the hashtag #Activ8Egypt. Participants are invited to share their best memories and stories of the timeless Egyptian landscape and cityscapes through photos, videos and words, reliving the experiences for themselves and bringing new travelers into the shared world of this beautiful destination.

Global wanderers who have yet to experience the wonders of Egypt and all it has to offer are invited to participate as well, sharing photos and videos of places they aspire to see and explore. Throughout the campaign Cairo Marriott and Egypt Air airlines will grant complimentary Cairo Accommodation nights and flights every month to contributors and fans with the highest participation on the Facebook page. Winners will be announced on Facebook to see if they've received a stay at the acclaimed luxury hotel in Cairo, close to the historic Egyptian Al Gazira Palace and an enticing array of Cairo restaurants.

"Cairo Marriott is the perfect hospitality and entertainment property to have launched a campaign that focuses on real human stories and capitalizes on emotions. The hotel embodies a repertoire of memories of its visitors' exciting tales. It is a chronicle of the cultural, social and nostalgic climates of Cairo and Egypt throughout the century", said Ghada Abd El Khalek, Director of Marketing Communications at Cairo Marriott.

Heba Issa, Director of Sales and Marketing at Cairo Marriott Hotel adds, "Even though Egypt has faced a lot of security issues recently, the room sales figures we get from the Gulf market continue to blossom. Cairo Marriott Hotel, located in the upscale district of Zamalek, is the best location for hospitality & entertainment and the ideal hotel to launch such a campaign as the property itself embodies the memories and tales of its visitors. For more than a century, the hotel has been a chronicle of the cultural, social and political life of Cairo and Egypt."
