TotallyEgypt.com, the Guide to Everything in Egypt Has Launched
Cairo, Egypt, September 16, 2010 --(PR.com)-- TotallyEgypt.com has just been launched, giving the residents of Egypt a local guide made by the people who know the ins and outs of Egypt best, them. The site gives users the ability to review various businesses like restaurants, hotels, shops and sports clubs; while also allowing business owners to claim their listing and promote it by updating special offers they may be running and replying to user reviews of their business.
The main concept for the site is to serve as a place where people living in or coming to Egypt can go and check restaurant reviews, hotel reviews, etc… and make informed decisions for places to go. It is also intended to be a place where users can review and share their experiences at different businesses so others can learn from that experience, whether it was good or bad.
The site already has an impressive database of locations around Egypt, but should the user search for a business and not find it, he/she can add the business right from the website. The listing then goes to an admin who will check the added business and approve it to go live on the site. Users can also promote events in Egypt by adding the event to the site. They can even link the event to an existing business and it will show up on that business’s page giving even more exposure to the event. On the event page other users can comment and show their interest by clicking that they’re “in” or that the event “sounds cool.” Other users will then see the amount of interest for the event.
There is also a social networking layer built on top of the reviews functionality which allows users to become friends with each other, as well as give “cool” or “funny” compliments to each other. Another functionality of the site is the “Talk” section which acts as a forum for discussions around various topic categories between users on the site. Users can also create “Lists” of their favorite businesses or anything else they can think of. For example a user can create a list of his/her favorite sushi places in Cairo and share it with others.
“We wanted to create a place where Egyptians or anyone coming to Egypt can go and discover the best places in all the cities of Egypt, right from the horse’s mouth,” say Ahmed Diaa and Tarek Mongy, Co-Founders of TotallyEgypt.com. “The ratings are based on crowd sourced reviews from real people with real experiences, not a published review which may have ulterior motives; that's the main idea behind TotallyEgypt.”
