Egypt holidays offer sun and history - the choice is yours

Holidays in Egypt offer so many resorts for tourists to absorb, it’s a chore in itself decided on which one you want to discover. If you want golden sands, glistening waters and bars and restaurants all within a stone’s throw away, check out holidays to Sharm El Sheikh or Hurgarda, both commercialised resorts custom built to suit every possible need a British holidaymaker may have. If it’s the magnificent Pyramids of Giza you wish to explore then jet off to Cairo and soak up some of the breath taking sights such as the Sphinx and bask in the blazing sun. Then there’s the resort of Taba, a more secluded part of Egypt but still extremely popular, hotels line the pavements here and everything is beach based. Taba is a haven for sun worshippers looking for a hotel and beach all inclusive Egypt holiday. Hotels in Egypt are of a very high standard and are relatively inexpensive, especially when tailor making your own holiday, so finding cheap holidays to Egypt is a very real possibility.

Egypt Holidays - Food and drink

Holidays to Egypt are most commonly taken in Sharm El Sheikh or Hurgarda which are the main holiday resorts to sample some Egyptian culture, although you won’t be left entirely without a British influence. With both resorts being fairly commercialised, bars and restaurants line the streets tied in with Egyptian Shisha cafes, which add a blend of culture. The ubiquitous Hardrock Cafe sits on Sharm El Sheikh’s main strip and entices many holidaymakers in to enjoy drinks and food. The quieter resorts of Taba and Marsa Alam are built around their ever growing hotel industry, with all bars, restaurants and casinos quietly tucked away in the hotels, all of which are of a very high standard and cater to their guests with the typical high standards of service and warm hospitality that we have come to expect of the Egyptians. Tea is a favourite with Egyptians and is consumed by the gallon. A popular light snack is called Falafel, made from beans it can be found on virtually every street corner in the whole of Egypt.
