Egypt Holidays
Egypt Holidays - Visit the Kingdom of the Pharaohs
Egypt is the land of the first great civilisation and is justly famed for its archaeological treasures. However, there is more to Egyptian holidays than the legacy of the Pharaohs. Romans, Greeks, Christians and Arabs have all played a part in shaping the architectural treasures of Egypt. The majestic pyramids, the magnificent Nile and the towering minarets are just some of the fascinating treasures Egyptian holidays have to offer.
Egypt Holidays - Bustling Cities and Magnificent Monuments
Cairo is the bustling capital city where the traffic whirls around a medieval core unchanged since the early days of Islam. Egyptian holidays would not be complete without a visit to the Egyptian Museum to see the treasures of the boy king, Tutankhamen. Further up the Nile lies Luxor, the site of ancient Thebes, with some of the most imposing monuments in all antiquity and a maze of opulent burial chambers. Aswan lies further south and its imposing temples bear testament to the absolute power of the Pharaohs. Visit these ancient treasures of Egypt for Egyptian holiday memories that last a lifetime.
Egypt Holidays - The Fascinating Sahara and Sinai Deserts
To the west of Egypt lie the sands of the Sahara with just a handful of oases. Medieval fortresses dwarfed by the landscape are interspersed with ghostly rock formations and bubbling springs. A visit to the desert can create romantic Egyptian holidays. Witness the sun rising over the dunes and, as the sun sets, experience a Bedouin feast and traditional entertainment as part of a wonderful Egyptian holiday. On Egyptian holidays to the Sinai desert tourists can climb the mountain where Moses once trod.
Egypt Holidays - Explore the Red Sea or Relax on the Mediterranean
With a backdrop of romantic deserts and crimson-coloured rocks and the beautiful sandy beaches lapped by a jade and blue-coloured sea, Egypt’s Red Sea resorts are great Egyptian holiday destination for divers. Dive in the amazingly clear water and marvel at the dazzling abundance of undersea life, from shoals of tropical fish to beautiful coral gardens, and from turtles to dolphins. The skies are a cloudless blue and the unspoilt views of palm groves and distant mountains complete an idyllic Egyptian holiday experience. In summer the gentler climate and beautiful white sandy beaches of the Mediterranean resorts attract tourists and locals alike for wonderful Egyptian holidays.
