I'm writing something for holidays in Egypt

[Derek]

Here's my opening para:


<span style="font-style: italic">Egypt rouses a level of mystique that few nations can match. A unified state for 5,000 years, and while most people were still hunting and gathering, <span style="font-weight: bold">the Nubians travelled north and perfected the most iconic structures of all time, the Pyramids of Giza. </span></span>


I'll let you know if I have to change it.

These hotel people are MAD. NOBODY is visiting Egypt for obvious reasons.
Occupancy levels are waaaaay down.
So what do they do? Ask us to do a short film, ads and leaflets telling people what a lovely place Egypt is to visit.


So I thought I'd slip in the Nubian bit.

They politely asked me to cut down the words (too much copy). So I did, but kept the Nubian bit. The write-up now starts like this:

<span style="font-style: italic">Around 5,000 years ago the Nubians travelled north and perfected the most iconic structures of all time, the Pyramids of Giza.
Today, Egypt is a truly fascinating destination, with world-class venues for every type of corporate event.</span>


I'll see what happens in Round 2.
Ding! Ding!
