Travel Egypt.

Sun, sea and amazing history – it has to be Egypt.

Egypt has always been popular for tourists due to its amazing sights, culture and history. But it is also fast becoming a great package holiday destination, with fabulous all inclusive resorts where travellers can mix a few days by the pool with a few days experiencing this country's outstanding historical sights.

The heat in Egypt can be a major factor. The temperatures can get extremely high, so it is vital to keep your skin protected. However, Egypt enjoys practically year-round dry weather, making it an ideal destination to soak up the sun's rays at more or less any time of year.

Cairo is the capital city of Egypt, and is closest to the oldest tourist attraction in the world – The Pyramids of Giza and The Sphinx. Visitors come in their thousands to stare in pure amazement at these structures, and wonder how they were built. The only surviving wonder of the ancient world, a trip to Egypt is not complete without taking in this spectacle.

Sharm El Sheikh is one of the more popular resorts in Egypt, boasting an array of top class hotels, numerous bars and restaurants and its crowning glory – one of the best diving sites in the world. The waters are generally calm, still and clear, making it perfect for scuba diving, snorkelling and other watersports. There are some spectacular sights to see under water, including amazing coral reefs and marine life. Even beginners can get in the act by taking a diving course, many of which are freely available.

Hurghada was once a fishing village, famous only for the scuba diving possibilities. But now it boasts numerous clubs and bars, and when the sun does down the area comes to life. With an amazing array of watersports, great beaches and a pulsating night life, this spot is popular with all age ranges.

Those looking to try a round of golf while in Egypt will not be disappointed. Cairo, Alexandria and Luxor boast fantastic courses, with one in Cairo allowing you to tee off in the shadow of the Pyramids of Giza.

Jeep safaris, quad bike safaris and overnight camel safaris are great ways to see more of Egypt. Guides take travellers through the sands, allowing safari-goers to see some breathtaking landscapes, Bedouin campsites and some creatures of the desert. An overnight safari also brings a spiritual element in, where watching the sun set across a backdrop of unbelievable sandscapes.

So from the ancient Egypt to the modern Egypt, there truly is something to fascinate everyone in this amazing country. Even if history is not high on your agenda, a visit to Egypt must take in the Pyramids of Giza and The Sphinx. To miss these when they are so close would be a crime. And the rest is up to you – whether you choose to party the night away in a club, or spend it watching the sun set while on a camel safari, we are sure Egypt will tick all your boxes.
