Egypt Holidays
Located in North Africa, Egypt holidays offer you 2 coastlines. In the north you will find the Mediterranean whilst to the east the Red Sea and the beautiful River Nile through the middle. Whether you are looking for an Egypt holiday on the coast or inland on the Nile you will find a country steeped in history and filled with ancient sites, historical ruins, temples and pyramids.
The weather in Egypt is wonderful all year round with temperatures in the summer months reaching the mid to late 30`s and staying in the 20`s through the winter, perfect for swimming in the warm sea.
Apart from the stunning ancient history, Egypt holidays are popular for Nile cruises, hot air balloon rides, jeep safaris, camel rides and especially scuba diving. Snorkelling and scuba diving on Egypt holidays are a fantastic experience as visibility is superb, the sea is warm with beautiful coral reefs, famous wrecks, turtles and filled with incredible shoals of exotic fish.
Egypt holidays should involve a trip to the local market and bazaars where you can purchase some great cheap holiday souvenirs and whether you are eating out or dining at your hotel, the local Egyptian cuisine is delicious.
The most popular beach resorts for an Egypt holiday are Sharm El Sheikh and Hurghada, whilst the Nile cruises tend to start from Luxor.
