whereas Aswan has been viewed as most commercial city for using hybrid PV/diesel/battery

make good use of previous studies which highlighted that Qena can viewed as ideal city for
establishing eco-friendly tourist village grounded on the amount of GHG released from
diesel/battery system. However, Diab et al. (2015) note that such an assertion can be made
regarding Qena if the impact of ambient temperature has been taken into account. Diab et al.
(2015) delved into concern of environmental performance of Egypt tourism and selected five
