There has always been an interest of within to one day visit Egypt. Think Egypt and you probably think of ancient treasures – where ‘Giza’ is not Cockney from London. Sun baked beaches and clear water are replaced by the thought of the great Pyramids.
If your idea of great Egypt holidays involves being near or in water, then Hurghada may well be the place for you. This great place has lots to do, and is no surprise that it is known as the ‘Red Sea Riviera’.
Some of the activities on offer include: windsurfing, sailing, deep-sea fishing and diving. What is special about Hurghada is that you can enjoy the diving without being an expert. You only need a snorkel to witness some to the most wonderful underwater scenes in the world.
Four miles south the southern section of Sharm El Sheikh stands on a cliff overlooking the port. and is a great view.
Na’ama Beach is one of the centre of the tourist activities. Located just north of Sharm, this area is developing into a resort town of its own. Most Sharm El Sheikh hotels at Na’ama Bay have their own, private beaches with comfortable amenities such as chairs, shades and even bars.
Shark’s Bay is also nearby, and again is a growing resort community with more and more to offer, along with several diving centers.
If an Egyptian beach holiday is not what you are looking for, then consider a tranquil cruise on one of the longest rivers in the world.
Nile Cruises are the perfect way of seeing life as it has always been in Egypt. Little has changed over many centuries, so the sights should stir great emotion within. The tour will visit Esna, where you can see the temples of Karnak and Luxor, and stroll among the great temple of Amun Ra. The dam at Aswan would be one of the destinations on the itinary, an engineering triumph fit for the pharoahs!
