Places to Visit
Visit the Seventh Wonder of the World
The Great Pyramid of Giza is the lone surviving member of the Seven Wonders of the World and attracts thousands of visitors each year. No holiday in Egypt would be complete without a trip to the pyramids and the inscrutable sphinx. Also visit the Valley of the Kings, the temples of Karnak, Abu Simbel and the Luxor Temple on your Egypt holiday.
Visit the Red Sea
Hurghada on the Red Sea is Egypt’s top destination for those who want to relax on the beach or dive in crystal clear waters with spectacular coral reefs. With ten miles of beaches and restaurants and nightclubs to suit all budgets, Hurghada is a popular destination for an Egyptian holiday.
Visit an Oasis
Visit the Siwa Oasis in the Western Desert near to the Libyan border for a unique Egyptian holiday experience. This remote oasis town has developed its own distinctive Berber culture. The old town of Siwa dates from the 13th century and is where Alexander the Great visited the Oracle of Amun. The Siwans have their own language and produce exquisite crafts and jewellery.
Visit the Bustling City of Cairo
Chaotic and exotic Cairo is home to over 16 million people, and is a must-see on any Egypt holiday. Visit its medieval centre, a maze of streets with mosques, huge medieval gates, gothic churches and bazaars selling everything from perfumes to cloths to car parts. For a memorable Egyptian holiday visit the Mosque of Mohammed Ali, the largest in the world, and the wonderful Egyptian museum.
