From the bustling capital of Cairo to the turquoise waters of the Red Sea, discover the most beautiful destinations to visit on your holiday in Egypt.
You can’t just visit Egypt’s capital. You have to live and feel it. It’s a bustling swarm that never sleeps. Modernity blends with tradition in a spellbinding atmosphere to give you an unbeatable glimpse of everything the country offers. Your stay in Cairo plunges you into the heart of Egyptian culture and history — from the buzzing alleys of Khân al-Khalili, the largest souk in the Middle East, to the majestic pyramids of Giza, eternal and universal symbols of ancient Egypt. Let yourself wander through the mosaic of colours, sounds, and scents of the vibrant city of Cairo, a must-see on your trip to Egypt.
Visiting Luxor is akin to unlocking a portal to Egypt’s majestic history. Nestled along the Nile’s shores, Luxor occupies the grounds of the historical city of Thebes and serves as a narrative of the Pharaohs’ golden era. For History enthusiasts, Luxor is an unmissable destination during any Egyptian journey. A rich itinerary awaits: from the awe-inspiring Karnak Temple, through the mystic Valley of the Kings and Queens, to the imposing Colossi of Memnon and the ancient village of Deir el Medina. Each of these iconic landmarks is a testament to the grandeur of ancient Egypt, offering unparalleled adventures in the heartland of one of humanity’s most remarkable civilizations.
If you picture the banks of the Nile when you think of your next holiday in Egypt, Aswan is the place to stop. Nestling along the banks of the Nile, the city is a beautiful oasis where you can soak up a picturesque atmosphere that is unique in the world. As well as visiting Aswan, its souk and Coptic cathedral, it’s an excellent base for excursions to the temples of Abu Simbel, the temple of Philae or Elephantine Island. During your stay, you won’t miss a trip on a felucca, the traditional Egyptian sailing boat: it’s a must-do activity in Aswan.
Hurghada’s year-round mild climate makes it an ideal destination for a sunny, idyllic getaway. Located on the shores of the Red Sea, this former fishing village is now a popular destination for water sports enthusiasts. With numerous diving sites nearby, your stay in Hurghada is an opportunity to discover the Red Sea’s sumptuous coral reefs before relaxing on its fine sandy beaches. Besides, the nearby desert offers plenty of adventure, whether by quad bike, 4×4 or camel. Whatever your preference, Hurghada is a great place to complete a road trip or enjoy a weekend getaway in Egypt.
It is known as the jewel of the Red Sea, with its crystal-clear waters, golden sandy beaches and resorts. Your stay in Sharm El Sheik combines both relaxation and adventure. It’s an ideal base for discovering Egypt’s most beautiful diving sites and admiring the immense and hypnotic desert. During the day, the city also offers cultural attractions such as the old market and the mosque. During the night, the city boasts a vibrant nightlife scene with numerous bars and restaurants. There’s plenty to celebrate during your Red Sea holiday.
