Why Egypt is one of the best holiday destinations

Egypt has been a fascinating travel destination for thousands of years. With its unique blend of ancient culture and modern comfort, it is one of the most diverse travel destinations in North Africa. Here are some reasons


why Egypt is one of the best holiday destinations in the world:
The cultural diversity
With a history spanning over 5,000 years, Egypt has a unique culture and architecture. The pyramids and temples in Cairo and Luxor are among the most impressive buildings in the ancient world. In cities like Alexandria you can find a fascinating mix of Roman, Greek and Oriental cultures. Whether the Ancient Egyptian Museum in Cairo, the temples of Abu Simbel or the tombs in the Valley of the Kings


- the cultural highlights in Egypt are almost endless.

The climate
The climate in Egypt is ideal for a beach holiday almost all year round. It is mild on the coasts with daytime temperatures between 20-30°C even in winter. In summer the temperatures inland rise to over 40°C, but thanks to the dry warmth the weather is very bearable. It is also almost never humid on the coasts. It can only rain occasionally from November to February.


The beautiful beaches
With over 3000 km of coastline, Egypt has various dream beaches to offer. The Sinai Peninsula in particular with cities like Sharm El Sheikh, Dahab or Taba as well as areas like Hurghada, Marsa Alam or El Gouna attract with white sandy beaches, turquoise water and a fascinating underwater world. Snorkeling and diving are among the most popular activities here.


The variety of hotels

Egypt offers a huge range of hotels in all categories and price ranges.
Whether it's a luxury resort on the best beaches or a family-run boutique hotel in the middle of the city - travelers of all tastes will find the right accommodation here. Many hotels score points with all-inclusive offers, spacious pools, direct access to the beach and a variety of sports and wellness offers.
The cheap prices


Despite the high-quality tourist infrastructure, holidays in Egypt are comparatively cheap. Accommodation, excursions and restaurants are often significantly cheaper than in other popular holiday destinations. Thanks to the well-developed transport system, travelers can also reach remote regions affordably.


Which cities in Egypt are particularly recommended?
Hurghada

The city of Hurghada, which has around 300,000 inhabitants, is located directly on the Red Sea and is one of the most popular seaside resorts in the country. The hotels are lined up along the fine sandy beach, with the palm groves of the hotel complex stretching behind them. Thanks to the sunny and wind-protected climate, Hurghada is an attractive travel destination all year round. The region around Hurghada is a paradise, especially for water sports enthusiasts, divers and snorkelers.


Sharm El Sheikh

This city on the Sinai Peninsula is one of the most beautiful diving and bathing resorts in the world. Crystal clear waters, white sandy beaches and spectacular reefs and underwater landscapes make Sharm El Sheikh a dream destination for water sports enthusiasts. In contrast to Hurghada and Marsa Alam, tourism in Sharm el Sheikh is somewhat more elitist. Here you will find luxury resorts with first-class facilities.


Marsa Alam

With over 100 kilometers of beaches on the Red Sea and a fascinating underwater world, Marsa Alam has developed into one of Egypt's up-and-coming holiday hotspots. The city itself is small, but the idyllic bays such as Qunfu, Banana Island and long sandy beaches invite you to explore extensively. Most hotels in Marsa Alam are located just outside the area and offer peace and privacy.
