Overview |
Today's Egypt has a wealth of modern coastal resorts that are among the best in the world. The Red Sea playgrounds of Sharm El Sheikh and Hurghada attract everyone from sun-worshippers to divers from all over the world. |
Red Sea |
Sharm El Sheikh's main attraction is its beach at Naa'ma Bay. The market place of Sharm is also worth a visit and don't forget to go on a cruise to Ras Muhammad where you can enjoy scuba diving. Hurghada has become the foremost tourist resort of the Red Sea coast being an international centre for aquatic sports. Day trips to explore the mountains by camel or jeep are also available. |
Northern Egypt |
Cairo overwhelms the senses with its non-stop hustle and bustle, souks and bazaars. The great Pyramids at Giza are on the western edge of the city but don't restrict yourself to Cairo. Fayed is known for palm-fringed beaches and fabulous sunshine. Another delight on the Sinai coast is Nuweiba - a superb location for diving or safaris that let you explore this ancient land more fully. |
Southern Egypt |
Aswan - with its world-famous dam - is an excellent place to experience the majesty of the Nile. Boats - known as feluccas - still sail peacefully up and down the river, just as they have done for thousands of years. |
