Just in time for Ramadan: Egypt introduces Sharia tourism


Shouq.jpgThis sounds like fun!

Sharia Alert from the democratic new "Arab Spring" Egypt: "Egyptian Businessmen Present: 'Sharia Tourism,'" by Elad Benari for Israel National News, July 30 (thanks to Kenneth):

In what appears to be another expression of the strengthening of Islam under the rule of the Muslim Brotherhood, Channel 2 News reported on Sunday of a new initiative in Egypt which encourages “sharia tourism.”
The new project, initiated by local businessmen, is directed at the religious sector in Egypt and allows it to take a vacation which follows the rules of Islam.

Two businessmen have launched the initiative as part of a local company called Shouq Travel, and they invite vacationers to arrange their vacation according to Sharia law.

The company’s website says that those who seek a “sharia” vacation may stay in a special hotel and visit specific tourist sites. Women visitors to the sites are required to wear modest clothes and may only be accompanied by a first-degree relative.

Not a second-degree relative!
