Flight, Hotel & Bargain Holidays to Egypt

Getting there and getting around

Flights to Egypt are served by Air Egypt, using the International airports at Cairo, Luxor, Hurghada and Alexandria on the mainland, and at Sharm El Sheikh on the Sinai Peninsula, bringing in millions of passengers annually. Once you arrive in Egypt, transport is generally cheap and easy to come by via local taxis, buses or private shuttles to resorts such as Sharm El Sheikh, Taba Heights, Marsa Alam, Hurgarda and even in the Capital Cairo. Egypt Flights on internal domestic airlines are the best way to get around if you find yourself wanting to discover each of the unique resorts during a longer stay. A range of daily flights operate between all the larger cities. Shuttle buses also run around each resort and are almost always awaiting arrivals at each airport.

Things to do

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 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 you wish to explore then jet off to Cairo and soak up some of the breath taking sights 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.

Food and drink

Sharm El Sheikh and Hurgarda are the main 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.
