Egypt

If you want to surround yourself with some of the world's most famous and stunning ancient monuments, then you definitely want to head to Egypt! These stunning, colossal pieces of Ancient history never fail to astonish. Egypt offers a truly unforgettable holiday experience. Not only do you have the opportunity to witness first hand some of the most historic sights known to man but also their diverse culture thanks to Egypt’s strategic location.

Lying in North Africa, Egypt is split by the Nile River, and bordered by both the Red & Mediterranean Seas (major entry points into Africa from Asia and most of Europe) This in turn helped cement Egypt's place as a hotspot for developing and conquering civilizations to spread. This also brought many different beliefs and religions to the country, with Christianity and Islam being the most prominent. For those theologians, Egypt offers a vast amount of churches and mosques that showcase these different religious influences.

No trip to Egypt would be complete without visiting Cairo, the country's bustling capital city. Here you will discover the awe-inspiring Ancient Egyptian landmarks, the Pyramids of Giza, the equally impressive Sphinx, and the treasures of Tutankhamun.

Although, the historic importance of Egypt is a key factor to the countries tourism, there is also a lot more to do than just sight-see. Egypt is filled with adventure, from sand boarding, diving, and deep-sea fishing, to more unexpected activities, like golf.

Furthermore, in recent years, European travellers have started to choose Egypt over other popular holiday destination, as Egyptian beaches offer the least expensive means of a sand and sea holiday. Traditionally, Sharm el-Sheikh was for wealthier holidaymakers, while the Red Sea Coast and Hurghada provided the lower cost resorts. Although, now you can get some great holiday offers, which pretty much meet all budgets, to Sharm el-Sheikh. These locations will be packed with tourists though, so if you are looking for somewhere a little less busy, then Taba is a great option.

Want a romantic getaway? Then a cruise along the Nile would be a great idea. Take in the colossal monuments of Ancient Egypt as you cruise down the world's longest river.

Egypt is also a favourite with an number of celebrities, with President Barack Obama having been spotted taking in the Pyramids, as well as Paris Hilton. Mel B also headed to Egypt a few years ago to renew her wedding vows in a sunset ceremony to film producer Stephen Belafonte.

Egypt has something for everyone, and really is a world of wonder waiting to be discovered!
