Holidays to Egypt

Get your calculator out and punch this in: buzzing cities + ancient wonders + serene beaches. What do you get? Yep. It’s holidays to Egypt.

Staggering landscapes

Much of Egypt’s magic hinges on the majestic Nile. Its fertile valley bustles with brilliant towns to mooch around, and when you’re feeling the heat, kick back, have a drink and cruise the river.

From awesome oases to sweeping sandscapes, deserts make up the vast majority of Egypt’s landmass. But those deserts are hardly deserted. In them you’ll discover awe-inspiring ancient temples, fortresses, captivating colours and the alluring buzz of life in the unlikeliest places. So get among it.

Step back in time

Have you ever felt the full-on stimulation of a souk? Ever gazed at grand structures, pushing your mind to imagine life 6,000 years ago? Ever snorkelled above a coral reef with multicoloured fish swimming around you? If your answer to any of these is “no”, our answer is: “You should.”

Cheap Egypt holidays span the country’s melting-pot of tantalising traditions and emerging influences. The ever-friendly locals bubble with pride, and rightly so. Few places have a richer, more remarkable history. Travel back in time with iconic pyramids and Luxor’s mind-blowing temples and tombs.

P.S. Unless you quit work to become an Egyptologist (we’ve all been tempted) and move here forever, it’s best to book a tour of these ancient wonders.

Egypt: an activity haven

Look, you’ll head into the museums. It’s inevitable (even if just for some AC). But there’s far more to do on your Egyptian hols, like climbing onto a camel’s back or hanging onto a dune buggy for dear life!

And then there’s the hell-yeah watersports: kitesurfing, windsurfing, world-class diving, banana boating, sailing, parasailing and some truly epic waterparks.

If you don’t mind dragging yourself out of bed at an ungodly hour, a proper once-in-a-lifetime moment and Insta-winner is a dawn ride in a hot-air balloon. Wowee! Honestly, Egypt is jam-packed with must-dos. Over to you for the tough choices.
