Egypt is a fascinating fusion of ancient and modern. Holidays in Egypt combine pristine white-sand beaches, world-renowned scuba diving, exotic sights and sounds, and archaeological treasures. The Red Sea Riviera beaches feature long swathes of golden sand lapped by translucent waters. The coral reefs of the Red Sea are among some of the best in the world. Scuba divers and snorkellers can explore the colourful coral, which is home to numerous species of tropical fish, turtles, rays and even sharks.

Holidays in Egypt are often based round the popular beach resorts of Sharm El Sheikh , Hurghada, Makadi Bay and Taba. Located on the tip of the Sinai Peninsula, Sharm El Sheikh , the 'Jewel of the Sinai' is renowned for its endless golden sandy beaches and lively nightlife. Hurghada features a stunning 25-mile coastline, charming old town and bustling bazaar, while Makadi Bay boasts stylish hotels and a wealth of water sports. The Red Sea Riviera also offers a number of busy markets selling local handicrafts and souvenirs as well as modern shopping centres. Nightlife in the beach resorts features live shows, belly dancing, cocktails and all-night partying at the various discos and nightclubs.
