If asked about your favourtite family holiday on the Mediterranean, maybe it would be Italy, or even Spain? There is a growing trend of holiday makers who would put Egypt as their first choice. It may seem inplausable at first, but there is plenty of Mediterranean coastline at the disposal of Egypt. The Medeterranean coast stretches from Alexandria in the east to the Libyan desert in the west.
There is plenty on offer for luxury holidays in an area which still boasts its fair share of original and authentic villages. The village of Al-Hamman represents some of Egypt’s diverse history, and was built over 2000 years ago by the Greeks. it is famous for its cistern, one of many build by the Romans in the second century. The lively and colourful market originally catered for the needs of pilgrims. It has now become a commercial centre for the new holiday villages and resorts. Sidi Abdel Rahman is another popular Egypt holidays destination, which boast stunning white sandy beaches and clear seawater. The downside to the northern resorts would be the inconsistency of climate.
There are plenty of activities in the resorts of Sharm El-Sheikh and Hurghada, due the all-year-round warm climate.
Sharm El-Sheikh, or as the locals call it ‘City of Peace’, used to be a quiet fishing village until fairly recent times. It is nearly unrecognizable today, and is now one of the most frequenly visited resorts in Egypt. It is the centre of the country’s diving industry, and boasts some of the best luxury hotels in Egypt. The water is crystal clear, and the underwater scenery is stunning. Within this, it is possible to see rare and beautiful reefs home to a large variety of exotic fish. You don’t have to be an experienced diver to enjoy this. You can see all the beautiful sights using just a snorkel. More accomplished scuba divers appreciate this area, but there are still challenges for everyone.
