The Red Sea – Another Side Of Egypt

Not everything in Egypt was built centuries ago. The resorts of the Red Sea are predominantly modern with fine facilities and easy access to a magical, multi-coloured coral and exotic fish that live beneath the waves. Warm waters and weird and wonderful desert backdrops combine with the fine hotels to create a unique Riviera-like atmosphere.

El Gouna has been architecturally designed in typical Nubian style. Its many cobbled streets, inlets and lagoons give it a sleepy, romantic feel. In fact, this is often referred to as Egypt's answer to Venice! Head downtown to Karf el Gouna to visit the Souk el Balad for a taste of traditional Egyptian commerce and, while you're here, practice your haggling skills, you could walk away with a real bargain! Away from the hustle and bustle of the markets, the lovely lagoons supply perfect surroundings for indulging in the plentiful watersports.

Hurghada was once a small fishing village and is now a fast growing resort (you should therefore expect to see some construction). Daytime activities focus around the beaches, with snorkelling and scuba-diving the most popular. Elsewhere you'll find a smattering of good quality international restaurants, plenty of bars and lots of fun.

Luxor Is Your Gateway To The Nile's Treasures

Once called Thebes, modern Luxor retains its mystique and its fine setting beside the timeless River Nile. On the east bank of the river is the modern area of Luxor, though you'll also find ancient treasures here like the Temples of Luxor, Karnak and the Avenue of Sphinxes. The west bank is home to the City of the Dead and the equally legendary Valley of the Kings and Queens.

Through it all flows the Nile still providing the same focus as it has done for millennia. Nile cruises & Nile river cruise holidays are definitely the only way to travel among the treasures of ancient Egypt, there's on board entertainment, a swimming pool, a bar, a sun deck and, best of all, there's the ever-changing scenery. All cabins are air-conditioned and all have a view of the River Nile whilst you're sailing.

Up on deck your Nile cruise ship helps create a gentle breeze that is often a welcome relief from the Egyptian sun. Of course, if you get too hot, you can always order a cool drink from the ship's bar or enjoy a dip in the pool.
