Holidays at home in Egypt?
I was all packed and ready to go on holiday with my fiancée when she came down with a really bad stomach ache, the day before we were going to leave. We both were looking forward to this holiday, and it was the only time that we could get off work. So there wasn’t anything for us to do, just sitting at home.
As we cancelled our holiday, a friend told us about the Virtual holidays. Now I had never heard of anything called a “Virtual holiday”, and was a bit dubious. If you can’t move about easily then this is great, the site takes you through all the cities you want. It’s a great opportunity for those that can’t actually leave the bed, to view these holiday experiences.
I was starting to think, what is this all about, I am not thinking about this at all. I just imagined that you had someone walking around with a hand held camera, with a little bit of odd commentary following.
This was actually a lot more diverse and more intricate than I could imagine. You don’t have to pay for all of these holidays online, some do actually do it for free as well. We paid for a tour round New York, which is where we were going to go. The tour included several locations, clearly labelling to us where it was we would be going, and what we would be seeing. We went into this video expecting only a small tour of the city, and we got so much more out of it, exploring museums and seeing all the great sights.
The following commentary was very good and described a lot of what we wanted. Virtual holidays could be the next big thing and it looks as though they are spreading to new locations.
We had fun trying this holiday, although it isnt the same as the actual thing, it is similar, we would like to try the Egypt holidays or Maldives holidays one, where the holidays are far too expensive for us to try, maybe Christmas holidays just got a lot less inexpensive?
