Egypt

Egypt is the cradle of major civilisations: Pharaonic, Greek, Roman, Christian and Islamic, with a very long history. Traditionally tourists visiting Egypt have limited their excursions to the Pharaonic sites of the Nile Valley and Cairo. Today, Egypt caters for all types of visitors with all types of expectations.

Cities in Egypt

Cairo

The largest city in Africa, where designer boutiques and five star hotels sit side by side with cloistered souks, bazaars and Mosques. Cairo is a teeming city, both modern and old, a new centre with suburbs 5,000 years old, cream painted houses and yellowed stone pyramids. Its sands hold more history within its gritty folds, and perhaps a lot more wisdom, than has yet been discovered. The pyramids of Egypt, the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, are the only one of those wonders to survive to the present day.

Alexandira

The city named after Alexander the Great; it was here Julius Caesar made a desperate swim to his ship to save himself from pursuing rebels. Alexandria was also where Cleopatra held a Banquet for Mark Anthony and fell in love with him and where Napoleon’s troops discovered the Rosetta Stone, deciphering Ancient Egypt’s hieroglyphics.

Luxor

Sitting on the banks of the Nile and the location of Thebes, the 4000 year old site of the ancient capital of the New Kingdom. Visiting Luxor is like visiting an open air museum as it is home to both the Temple of Luxor and the Temple of Karnak, the largest of the remaining Nile temples. Luxor’s West Bank also boasts the Valley of the Kings.

Aswan

Known for its beauty and fantastic climate, with palm fringed islands and dotted with felucca sail boats. Egypt’s southernmost city is home to the Nubian people, who have their own language and customs. Aswan is the ideal base to explore the surrounding sights, such as the Temple of Philae and the Temples of Ramses II & Nefertari at Abu Simbel.

Sharm El Sheikh

Dramatic mountain landscapes. Sandy beaches. Crystal clear waters and some of the world’s finest coral reefs. Sharm el Sheikh is a bustling cosmopolitan resort between the Gulf of Suez and Gulf of Aqaba and offers an ideal base from which to explore all that the Red Sea has to offer. Sharm’s resorts, Nabq Bay, Sharks Bay, Naama Bay and Hadaba Um El Sid, each have their own distinctive characters, with an eclectic mix of traditional entertainment, bazaars and coffee shops, gourmet restaurants and trendy bars.

Dahab

Dahab, gold in Arabic, is named for its sweeping golden sands that stretch as far as the eye can see. Originally a Bedouin fi shing village, it was “discovered” by backpackers drawn by the beautiful location, and the excellent diving and windsurfing conditions. From these slightly bohemian beginnings, it has developed into a carefree, relaxed resort quite unlike the more developed areas of Sharm el Sheikh and Hurghada. Once you’ve dined Bedouin style by the beach, sprawled across comfortable cushions at a low slung table, you may never go back to traditional restaurants!

Taba

The coastline from Taba to Nuweiba is among the most picturesque in the Sinai, with dramatic mountain backdrops sweeping down to the Gulf of Aqaba as it narrows towards Eilat in Israel, Aqaba in Jordan, and Saudi Arabia. Nestled in these beautiful surroundings are the resorts of Taba and Taba Heights, where there is no lack of high-quality dining and entertainment, even casinos and an 18-hole PGA-designed golf course! Taba is a divers paradise, offering undisturbed coral gardens and a stunning array of reef fish. It’s also an excellent hopping-off point for excursions to Petra, the Dead Sea and Jerusalem.

Abu Simbel

Abu Simbel is a village in the Egyptian part of Nubia, about 240 km (150 mi) southwest of Aswan and near the border with Sudan. As of 2012, it has about 2600 inhabitants. It is best known as the site of the Abu Simbel temples, which were built by King Ramses II.

Saint Catherine

Saint Catherine is a town in the South Sinai Governorate of Egypt, situated at the foot of the mountain Mount Sinai. The city is the site of Saint Catherine's Monastery.The city is 1,586 metres (5,203 ft) above sea level and is 120 kilometres (75 mi) from Nuweiba. In 2002, The Saint Catherine area was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
