Packed with history, charm and fantastic diving opportunities, Egypt has become a key destination for group holidays.
Visit Giza to admire the three great Fourth-Dynasty Pyramids, the Sphinx and the Egyptian Museum. Artefacts in the museum include the 3,000-year-old treasure of Tutankhamun, as well as an array of Pharaonic, Islamic and Byzantine art and sculptures.
Cairo is also home to the Al Azhar, one of the oldest universities in the world and to the Amr Ibn El Aas Mosque - the first mosque to be built in Egypt. You can also visit the Virgin’s Tree, under which it is said the Holy Family sheltered during their flight from Herod’s persecution.
Some 670 kilometres to the south of Cairo is Thebes, now known as Luxor. A living museum, Luxor boasts some of the most spectacular examples of Pharaonic architecture, including the Temple of Luxor and the great Temple of Karnak.
Visit Sheraton Street for the lively coffee houses located here. The newly opened Hurghada Marina Boulevard is a great place to find a restaurant or bar and eat and drink the night away.
For a good selection of nightlife, Marsa Alam will feature a selection of bars, nightclubs and a casino.
Qena Governorate, a division of Egypt, is located in the south of the country and includes some of the Nile valley, as well as a number of attractions and sights to see.
In the Qena Governorate in southern Egypt, located near the Nile valley, Al Hubayl is a superb destination with a range of attractions and entertainments to choose from.
‘Izbat al Hajjah Duwah is to be found in the Qena Governorate region in the south of Egypt and offers visitors a range of attractions and entertainments to keep them occupied on holiday.
An explosive combination of modern cosmopolitanism and ancient splendour, Luxor is so packed with spectacular monuments and ruins that it is considered to be the world’s greatest open-air museum.
One of the best places in the world for diving and snorkelling, the Red Sea in Egypt is stunning and full of fascinating and beautiful sealife. Strap on your SCUBA gear and revel in the experience.
