Introduction to Egypt holidays

Egypt is often called a ‘country of contrasts’. It is a cradle of civilization and a fascinating holiday destination. It has got a far-reaching history going back some 6,000 years. Many famous features and figures have appeared to represent this country and its history. The characters that form a prominent image in people’s heads when Egypt is mentioned are usually the same figures we can see on Egyptian postcards. The pyramids are obviously the most famous architecture; housing the mummified Pharaohs. The Sphinx which sits alongside the pyramids is often used to represent the desert sands, the stone having been bleached after its many years under Egypt's hot sun. Alongside these, every traveller on his legendary Egypt holidays, will be able to find the most modern and opulent luxury hotels in fast expanding Egyptian seaside areas.

Egypt has become and increasingly popular package holiday destination. When a country has got so much to offer, where do you usually start exploring when on holidays in Egypt? There is always Cairo, the famous Egyptian capital that never sleeps and the home of the Great Egyptian Pyramids. Then there is the ever inspiring River Nile which is Egypt's Raison d'etre. The temples and remnants of ancient civilizations which resided next to the great river show the uses to which the people put the water to. Economics, socialising, politics and religion can all be found depending on the river. Dominated by the magical city of Luxor – the world’s largest open air-museum, the area attracts visitors and photographers from all around the world. The picturesque Valley of the Kings is by far one of the most popular tourist destinations on their Egypt holidays. Exploring the gems of the Nile Valley on a Nile Cruise is highly recommended and the best way to discover the true Egypt.

All Inclusive Cheap holidays in Egypt offer fantastic diving and exhilarating activities

The other major water attraction on your cheap holidays in Egypt is scuba diving in the Red Sea around the mystical Sinai Peninsula or the Egyptian South Coast. Endless hours of sunshine, long and unobstructed stretches of soft golden sand beaches surrounded by the dramatic desert scenery of crimson and cinnamon coloured mountains provide all holidaymakers not only with perfect picture opportunities but life-long remembered images. Some famous resorts on your Egypt holidays include specialist towns whose economy revolves around the diving tourism such as Sharm el Sheikh, Naama Bay, Hurghada, Taba Heights, Marsa Alam or Port Ghalib. In these, the local people are extremely kind and hospitable and often will go out of their way to help. As for other popular activities on holidays in Egypt, jeep safaris around the oases, camel touring on Mount Sinai or just calmly exploring one of Egypt's frantic cities is a favourite pastime; full of culture, history, adventure and great landscape, Egypt is an excellent location for numerous different pursuits.Test
