Egypt is synonymous with Pharaohs, the pyramids, temples and antiquities from ancient civilisations. From desert landscapes and dry, rugged mountains that reach to the sea, dusty cities full of exotic sounds and smells, and green strips of agricultural land snaking along the banks of the Nile. Egypt has something to offer all travellers from all walks of life. Spectacular diving in the Red Sea; unique desert experiences, whether on the back of a camel to Mount Sinai or on a jeep safari to the inner oases; the colour and chaos of Cairo and its markets; and felucca cruises on the Nile River are just some of the exotic attractions awaiting visitors. Egypt promises an unforgettable experience of history and relaxation - a mixture of discovery and pleasure. The main holiday resorts in Egypt are on the Red Sea and are Hurghada and the more well known resort of Sharm El Sheikh with the up-market resorts of Marsa Alam and Taba offering a more peaceful holiday.

When to go

The major Red Sea resorts are open all year. Temperatures in the Red Sea resorts average in the low 20's Celsius during the winter months but rise to the high 30's during the summer peak season.

Camel ride and Star watching in the Desert. As with the boats there are several camel (or should I say dromedary, as they only have one hump) trips on offer. Some take you in the evening for dinner under the stars around a camp fire and others take you during the day to a Bedouin camp and offer you mint tea and freshly baked bread.

Scuba Diving & Snorkeling: There are many opportunities for both activities BUT they should only ever be done by experienced swimmers and divers. Several "chance to learn courses" are available in the resorts but this can take up a lot of your holiday time and you would do better to learn in the UK before you go. Details can be found here.
