Top 3 Destinations to Visit in Egypt
Holidays in Egypt are an exciting and exotic experience. Egypt offers a diverse mix of breathtaking, historical sites and natural wonders. This article suggests three exciting destinations to visit while on your holiday in Egypt.
Cairo
Cairo is one of the world?s largest urban areas with nearly 20 million people living in the capital city. As soon as you step out of your hotel in Egypt, your senses will be overwhelmed from the intense smell of spices and the noise from the nearby hustle and bustle of the city.
There are so many magnificent and wonderful sites to choose from in Cairo but no holiday to Egypt is complete without visiting the Great Pyramids of Giza.
There are several ways to enjoy the spectacular views of the pyramids. If you are adventurous, why not step inside and squeeze through the dark passage way all the way to the tomb, whilst imagining who would have walked this passage thousands of years ago. Or you could enjoy a camel ride around the Pyramids and picture yourself watching the nearby Sphinx being carved by thousands of people from just one single block of stone. With a bit of imagination and a sense of history, you can have a lot of fun making your holiday in Egypt an epic historical experience for yourself.
Sinai ? Sharm el Sheikh
If you are looking for relaxation, some pampering and luxury accommodation on your holiday in Egypt, then why not follow in Lawrence of Arabia?s footsteps and head to the coastline of the Sinai Peninsula.
Situated on the Southern tip on the Peninsula, Sharm el Sheik is one of many beautiful resorts in the area. Most people visit Sharm for its exceptional snorkelling and diving, and you will find excellent diving facilities at most hotels. Even beginners can enjoy discovering a new colourful world under the sea, as the Red Sea is very calm and it is just so easy to pop your head in the water and be overwhelmed by hundreds of multi-coloured fish – but watch out for the moray eels as they can be a bit territorial. Sharm el Sheikh is the ideal place to escape and enjoy the natural wonders of the underwater world.
If being under the warm waters of the Red Sea is not your idea of fun in the sun, on your holiday in Egypt there are plenty of other active excursions to enjoy in the Sinai region. How does an exciting jeep safari in the Sinai sound? On a day?s excursion you can enjoy a brisk climb up Mount Sinai, which is famous for being the site where Moses received his ten commandments, followed by a tour of St Katherine?s Monastery and if you don?t mind a bumpy journey through parts of the desert you can take a ride on a camel.Although Sharm el Sheik is an ideal location to sit back and relax, if you fancy taking a break from your sun lounger for the day there are plenty of magical and exciting sites to explore.
