Egypt Resorts

Hurghada is developed around a watersports industry that is difficult to beat anywhere else in the world. This part of the Red Sea coast is rich in stunning underwater flora & fauna, and the warm waters are home to a myriad of tropical fish that live out of the view of anyone without access to either scuba or snorkelling gear. Thankfully, both activities are both available in abundance, as are many other aquatic pursuits over, on and below sea level. However, at night is when the holiday resort comes alive with bustling bars that attract a younger clientele, although revellers of all ages certainly won't feel out of place.

Nestled between the national park of Ras Mohammed and the shores of the Red Sea, the Sharm El Sheikh resorts are the jewel of the Sinai Peninsula. For many visitors, the most stunning scenery of this region is underwater in the colourful reefs encircling the peninsula. As one of the world's most extraordinary diving destinations, you can snorkel or dive in an underwater playground of coral gardens, shipwrecks and azure blue waters. Life ashore is exciting and vibrant and the resort centre offers an array of international cuisine and entertainment, making Sharm El Sheikh the cosmopolitan resort and place to be in Egypt.

You’ll soon realize why Luxor has been dubbed the greatest open-air museum - the sheer number and quality of monuments in the area is simply unparalleled. A paradise for culture lovers, this is the ideal base from which to visit the awe-inspiring monuments which line both sides of the Nile: the stunning Valley Of The Kings, Tomb of Tutankhamen, the magnificent Luxor temple, and Karnak - the largest place of worship ever constructed. Outside the impressive history, the city offers tourists colourful cafes and restaurants, and bazaars where you can buy locally crafted alabaster goods and clay pottery.

Makadi Bay is a popular and modern beach resort situated among the desert dunes with a wonderfully serene mountain backdrop. Makadi Bay is more relaxed and laid-back than other Egyptian beach resorts such as Sharm, and consequently you’ll generally find that your evening entertainment options will be largely based around what all the hotels provide. Marsa Alam too is much more low-key than the more vibrant Red Sea Riviera resorts. It’s one of those resorts that visitors regard as a well-kept secret, but not for long because its popularity with holidaymakers is increasing every year.
