Egypt holidays

The perfect blend of history, hot weather and soft sands, Egypt holidays are a winner with holidaymakers looking to divide their time between sightseeing and sunbathing. Quickly becoming as popular as the Spanish resorts when it comes to package holidays, it now means that you'll find an abundance of all-inclusive resorts, last minute deals and cheap self-catering accommodation. And after an influx of five-star hotels with infinity pools and private beaches, it's becoming increasingly well-known as a honeymoon destination too.

Famed for its Pyramids, deserts and fantastic sea life, a holiday in Egypt could easily be filled with a different activity every day. From treks to the tombs and cruises along the Nile to diving in the Red Sea Rivera reefs, it's hard not to be mesmerised by what this country has on offer. Lively visitors should head to Sharm El Sheikh. Likened to Benidorm, it's where beaches and nightlife roll into one, while Hurghada will win over tourists who want to try their hand at a spot of snorkelling. City lovers will also want to make a stop off at Cairo and Luxor. Filled with bazaars and restaurants, because both cities sit on the edge of the River Nile they make the perfect setting for some impressive holiday snaps.
