Holidays and vacations in Egypt have everything - sun, fantastic beaches and that magnificent history! Egypt’s position as one of the world’s top tourist destinations began around 5,000 years ago when a succession of ruling Pharaohs built ever more imposing cities and structures.

    Standing in wonder next to the colossal pyramids near Cairo you wonder how each magnificent block was crafted into place. Finally you work up the courage to crawl inside and explore ancient chambers where pharaohs’ tombs and treasures once rested.

     The Giza Plateau, situated surprisingly close to the outskirts of Egypt’s bustling capital city Cairo, hosts a glut of awesome sights that could occupy you for a fortnight.  The Great Pyramid, of course, is the focal point though no less impressive are the two slightly smaller pyramids that stand by its side,
     You can admire romantic panoramas on a luxurious Nile cruise or try your hand and cast out your line to catch the river’s famous gigantic 200lb perch. At Sharm El Sheikh you can dive among vivid coral and sample the fantastic beaches along the Red Sea There's the crystal-clear waters of lively Hurghada, the family-oriented charms of Makadi Bay or even the sumptuous seclusion of Taba.

     The beaches on the Red Sea Riviera are quite simply stunning. Long stretches of golden sands sweep down into sparkling waters. Most of the hotels have their own private sandy havens and there are a number of dive schools dotted along the coastline if you want to take the plunge and find an underwater paradise.

     Blessed with the heat of the all-year-round Red Sea sunshine, El Gouna is the perfect destination for total relaxation in summer or winter. You won’t want for anything in this attractive purpose-built resort. With an array of on-site activities and facilities, beaches and lagoons to explore, El Gouna has plenty to keep you occupied. El Gouna was the dream of one local man who first built his own villa here and then welcomed others. El Gouna is the Red Sea’s most exclusive golf destination, offering stunning views of the lagoons and villas 

    You know you're in Africa when you reach Aswan. Here in Egypt's southern most resort the temperature is warmer, nature is closer, and the Nile is even more beautiful. 

     It was only a matter of time before Hurghada's blend of beach and reefs, weather and culture was squarely in the spotlight of international tourism. This once sleepy fishing village has managed to soak up so many tourists without sacrificing its easy going charms and casual Egyptian way of life. 

      A cruise is the perfect way to see the wonders of the River Nile and to explore the many ancient monuments and fascinating sights along the way. Take a Nile cruise and you can look forward to some of these treats:

     Luxor - known as Thebes in ancient Egypt - is less of a city, more a huge, sunny, open-air museum, ripe for wandering around. Its temple complexes are still staggering, no matter how many times you've seen them on the cinema screen, or in a travel book.

     Today's city is a compact affair, with just a few central streets lined with graceful, stone-built public buildings, leafy gardens and pleasant riverside walks. What most people think of as Luxor is really three different areas, consisting of the City of Luxor on the East side of the Nile, the town of Karnak just north of Luxor and Thebes, which the ancient Egyptians called Waset, which is on the west side of the Nile across from Luxor.

     Further south towards Aswan is the Edfu Temple. The best preserved ancient temple in Egypt, it was built in honour of Horus, the falcon-headed god and has many impressive features including a colonnaded courtyard. At Kom Ombo stands another large temple dedicated to Horus and Sobek (the crocodile god).
     On the West Bank you will find the Valley of the Kings, the last resting place of the ancient pharaohs. Aswan sits on the eastern bank of the Nile and is famed for its sunshine, beautiful scenery and Egyptian atmosphere. The Corniche, or riverside walk, runs along the banks of the Nile where you will find cafes, restaurants and in the maze of small streets, bazaars packed with goodies. Other highlights of Aswan include the Philae Temple, the immense High Dam, which provides electricity and enough water to last four years and the Unfinished Obelisk. South of Aswan, overlooking Lake Nasser, are the impressive temples at Abu Simbel.
