For those who admire Swiss places and feeling the uniqueness of their atmosphere, Swiss Trail is the latest mobile application that brings to prominence Swiss landmarks in Egypt. The app was created by the Embassy of Switzerland in Egypt, in collaboration with the Swiss Club Cairo, with the aim of connecting people with the Swiss-influenced landmarks across Cairo, including historical hotels, villas, gardens, and buildings once built or run by Swiss citizens in Egypt. “It is extraordinary to see how Swiss entrepreneurs, artists, and architects have left their legacies across the Egyptian capital,” says Paul Garnier, the ambassador of Switzerland to Egypt, adding, “Swiss Trail follows the innovative and pioneering spirit that has created fascinating historical and cultural ties between Egypt and Switzerland. A stroll through the neighbourhood with the app shows that there is a more prevalent Swiss touch to the area than most people know,” Garnier added. Swiss Trail is supported by Presence Switzerland, the unit of the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs responsible for transmitting general knowledge about Switzerland overseas.
