Why you will want to vacation in Egypt

If you make a call to pass your holiday in Egypt, typically you have a choice of 2 sea resorts – Hurghada or Sharm El Sheikh.  both are popular, but Hurghada is situated in African continent while Sharm El Sheikh lies on Sinai peninsula. 

About thirty years ago Hurghada was just a easy fishing hamlet.  But now, with it’s a resort with wonderfully clear water, untouched reefs.  It is one of the best Egyptian visitor destinations.  A significant part of its fame Hurghada gained as one of the best diving centers of the world.  Like all oriental towns Hurghada make living out of trade, so if when you walk along the town, be prepared to beat off the pressing offers of the sellers, meriting to make you purchase their keepsakes.  There are some more entertainments except shopping and diving in Hurghada.  You can make a jeep trip to a desert, visit Bedouin’s town there ; you can see corals and some natural preserves.  Hurghada is also has aqua-park.  Fishing is one of the well-liked visitor’s activities in Hurghada too.  Today, Hurghada is known as a party town, especially among continentals.  Neighbors and others will tell you that life begins at night in Hurghada, with the many clubs.  The most suitable time to visit Hurghada is October-November.  In winter there are strong winds and it becomes dark very early. 

when you are in Hurghada don’t miss the chance to see one of the most superb monuments of Egypt history – Luxor and the Valley of the King.  Pharaoh’s crypts and ancient churches are worth visiting. 

Sharm el-Sheikh is one of the most accessible and developed tourist resort communities on the Sinai promontory.  All around are Bedouins, colourful tents, mountains and sea.  Na’ama Beach is one of the middle of the tourist activities.  Located just north of Sharm, this area is developing into a resort city of its own.  For people that like shopping, the Sharm El-Sheikh mall provides shops with both foreign and local products, including jewellery, leather goods, clothing, pottery and books.  Nobody leaves Sharm el-Sheikh without several useless but extremely nice mementos.  Like Hurghada, Sharm el-Sheikh is famous for diving too, but it has more variety in corals. 

Those, who choose Sharm el-Sheikh also has chance to watch the attraction of Sinai promontory – The priory of St Catherine, Mount Sinai ( or Mountain of Moses ), Pharaoh’s Island and Salah El Din citadel, Nabq national Park, Ras Abu Galum state Park and so -called ‘Coloured canyon’. 

The last but not the least of the Egypt must-sees is Cairo with its pyramids.  From either Hurghada or Sharm El-Sheikh it’s going to be a long trip, but you may never regret it! 

When you going to Egypt, be aware that 3-star hotels in Egypt have nothing to do with 3-star hotels in Europe.  So, it is better to choose 4 or five star hotel.  Likely it protects you from many concerns.  Regularly the large hotels have zoos, playgrounds, discos, bars, a number of pools and even tiny theaters.  So, could be you may to want to leave your hotel.  Anyhow, a trip to Egypt promises to be exotic and engaging expierence.
