Egypt is a Middle Eastern country of desert landscapes,
dry rugged mountains that reach to the sea, dusty cities full of
exotic sounds and smells, and green strips of agricultural land winding
along the banks of the Nile. Egypt is quite simply unique and offers
something very special to all holidaymakers from all walks of life.
Holidays in Egypt are becoming increasingly popular for the whole
family and package holidays to Egypt being common. Experience spectacular
diving in the Red Sea, the mystery of the pyramids and desert adventure
holidays - whether on the back of a camel to Mount Sinai or on a
jeep safari to the inner oases. Witness the colour and chaos of Cairo
and its markets, or felucca cruises on the Nile for some of the exotic
attractions awaiting the visitor. Egypt promises a truly memorable
experience of relaxation and history - in short, a beautiful mixture
of pleasure and discovery.
Today, the attractions of Egypt
include the monuments
of the Nile Valley, the souks and mosques of Cairo,
and the
natural
wonders of the Red Sea, Sinai Desert, and the Eastern and Western
Deserts. Superb coral reefs teem with an abundance of tropical fish,
and endless sand dunes give way to
ancient fortresses, monasteries and rock art.
The climate is basically hot and dry during summer
and with mild winters and cold nights. Rainfall
is negligible, apart from coastal regions. In April, the hot, dusty khamsin wind blows from the Sahara.
Cairo
A holiday to Cairo offers a magnificent selection of shopping,
leisure, culture and nightlife. During your package holiday
to Cairo you can
play a round of golf overlooking the Pyramids, watch the
horse racing at the Gezira Club or visit the Zoo and the Botanical
Gardens. Alternatively,
take a magnificent boat trip on the Nile or a day trip out of the
city. Cairo takes on new life at night with the most essential
after-dark experience, the Sound and Light show at the Pyramids.
Cheap holidays to Cairo are now widely available with a wide
selection of vacation accommodation to suit your needs.
