Egypt Holidays

Egypt, the land of ancient wonders, basks under timeless blue skies and almost perpetual sunshine. The Nile is the country's lifeblood and is as important today as it was in the times of the Pharaohs. The river wends its way amongst white-sailed boats (feluccas) and modern cruise ships while its dusky banks rise slowly from clear, still waters over historic architecture towards the cloudless horizon. Sharm El Sheikh is a world class resort on the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt. It lies between the Red Sea and Mount Sinai. Sharm El Sheikh is holiday Mecca with high quality big name hotels and restaurants from around the world. It has arguably the best diving and snorkeling in the world. Holidaymakers can enjoy aquatic sports, the sun, and the breathtaking desert landscape.

Sharm El Sheikh is a world class resort on the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt. It lies between the Red Sea and Mount Sinai. Sharm El Sheikh is holiday Mecca with high quality big name hotels and restaurants from around the world. It has arguably the best diving and snorkeling in the world. Holidaymakers can enjoy aquatic sports, the sun, and the breathtaking desert landscape. A day trip to Mount Sinai is a must with a visit to St. Catherine's monastery famous for the alleged burning of St. Catherine where it is said that the Catherine wheel firework was named after her. Hurghada Backed by desert sands, the clear waters of the Red Sea are a favourite with sun-seekers and divers alike. It's ideal for those looking to spend the day on the beach with snorkelling and scuba-diving. The sea is full of tropical fish that dart in and out of the living coral reefs. For shopaholics the bazaar area is ideal - you are expected to haggle with the locals and can pick up great gold and leather bargains. For nightlife many of the hotels provide entertainment plus the town has a handful of bars and restaurants. Cairo is the vibrant, over crowded, dusty and chaotic capital of Egypt. Worth a visit so you can say you've been there and seen the pyramids but unless you're used to city life and the noise then don't stay too long. Africa’s largest city with a population of over 18 million, Cairo is a chaotic mixture of sights, sounds and smells. It is heaving with life, volatile, polluted and boisterous, with an intensity that both exhausts and invigorates the visitor. It is also distinctive with its ancient monuments in juxtaposition to the modern and cosmopolitan. The congested streets of Islamic Cairo are full of donkey carts, traders and mosques, while camels weave their way haughtily between the crumbling pyramids on the outskirts. Taxis clamour for attention and pedestrians elbow their way past busy coffee houses, where those seeking a brief escape from the hustle and bustle sit sipping at a strong cup of coffee while contemplating the smoke rings of a ‘hubbly bubbly’ water pipe – in true Egyptian style.
