If you like like beach resorts, history and culture or shopping and fine dining, Egypt holidays have it all.

Egypt holidays have much to offer travellers thanks to a hot, sunny climate and over 4,000 years of history.

Since Roman times, the enigmatic monuments left behind by Egypt’s ancient civilisation have seized visitors’ emotions. The unique geographical position of Egypt has always enjoyed a healthy cultural cross-fertilization and warm, sunny weather because of its location and coastlines bordering the Mediterranean and Red Sea.

Cairo is just as much a bustling metropolis as it is a millennia-old settlement, and for most people enjoying Egypt holidays, this is where it all begins. As the city plays host to the Pyramids of Giza and the Great Sphinx, the ancient mystery of Egypt begins here. Cairo also boasts amazing marketplaces packed with bustling vendors and many lively nightclubs for visitors who wish to experience the city’s nightlife.

From Cairo it is easy to get to grips with the rest of the country. A trip to Nile River will complete your Egypt holidays. The country has relied on this waterway for over five thousand years providing the country with drinking water, irrigation for agriculture, and a vital trade artery.

A boat trip down the Nile is highly recommended, being the perfect way to see the country in the most leisurely fashion. The wonderful sights just keep on coming ancient monuments, riverside hamlets and spectacular natural vistas are always around the corner.

The usual end point for these river trips is the venerable city of Luxor in southern Egypt. Simultaneously a picturesque destination and a treasure trove of ancient history, Luxor is often more like a vast living museum than a city, dazzling the visitor with masses of ancient statues, palaces and temples. The tourists can gasp at the amazing complex at Karnak whose carvings are complicatedly hieroglyphic with epic columns and beautiful frescoes.

Immediately across the Nile, the visitor can see the spectacular Valley of the Kings. The vast city of the dead, whose streets are lined with the final resting places of the ancient Pharaohs are highly recommended to visit.

Despite the country’s inescapable ties to ancient history, there is much to attract people looking for a more relaxing time on their Egypt holidays. Because of the country’s growing economy and modernization, this has helped to create a host of new coastal resorts, which offer delicious food and vibrant nightlife.

Of the resorts, perhaps the most famous is Sharm el-Sheikh, the city by the sea. Sharm el-Sheikh has beautiful beaches with limpid waters and the opportunity to take part in diving, snorkelling and watersports around its beautiful coral reefs, where can be found more than 1,000 different species of fish.
