Egypt has been a source of wonder and attraction for 1,000s of years, offering timelessness, contrasts and rich history of civilizations that can’t fail to inspire. Ruled by Pharaohs, Greeks, Romans and a succession of Islamic dynasties, the landscape is sprinkled by a rich and beautiful mixture of monuments, legacies and masterpieces. From the marvels of Cairo’s pyramids and sphinx and Luxor’s magnificent Nile-side tombs and temples to the shimmering beaches and colourful coral reefs of the Red Sea at Sharm el Sheik and Hurghada. Mingling with the ancient is modern, with high-rise towers and top-class hotels vying for attention alongside some of the most spectacular sightseeing in the world.
Think holidays in Egypt and you’ll probably imagine blazing sunshine, riotously coloured coral reefs and sands softer and whiter than you could ever believe. Oh, and some fascinating days staring at some spectacular 4,000-year-old treasures and royal tombs as well. If that’s what you’re thinking, then you’re pretty much right. Holidays to Egypt are mainly about chilling on beautiful beaches, immersing you in the equivalent of an underwater theme park and thrilling at the world’s most eye-popping collection of historic relics.
Cairo is Africa’s largest city and features sprawling markets and the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities, housing the treasure of Tutankhamen. Egypt holidays shouldn’t pass by without a visit to the magnificent Sphinx and monumental Pyramids of Giza.
There are the magical, mystifying tombs of the pharaohs and mighty temples of the Nile Valley. Then as if deliberately organized by nature for your convenience comes the perfect contrast – the beaches of the Red Sea. Most notable are the idyllic sands and amazing diving on offer at profligate Sharm el-Sheikh, the crystal-clear waters of vigorous Hurghada, the family-oriented charms of Makadi Bay or even the luxurious seclusion of Taba.
When it comes to choosing a base, they’re all well worth chewing over, whether you’re considering a last-minute bargain holiday to Egypt, an all-inclusive holiday or just a classic sun-soaked summer holiday.
