The Indian Embassy here in association with India Tourism Office in Dubai organised the seminar entitled 'Incredible India Road Show'.

India's Ambassador to Egypt Sanjay Bhattacharyya that India and Egypt were two of the very large population countries, but the level of tourism between them was below potential.

"The reason that we are here today is to make sure that we reach that potential," the Ambassador said.
