Egypt Holidays

There’s plenty to keep you busy on a holiday to Egypt. Go dune buggy riding or camp beneath the stars in a traditional tent. Stand in wonder at the Great Pyramids of Giza, wander through the Valley of the Kings, take in the beauty of the Great Sphinx and let the ancient art and treasures of the pharaohs come alive. When the sightseeing is done, get away from the deserts and head to the tranquil crystal-clear coastlines to snorkel among the corals in the Red Sea in style.

Cruising down the majestic River Nile is an enchanting journey that transports travellers through millennia of history and breathtaking natural beauty. As the lifeblood of ancient Egypt, the Nile River offers a unique perspective on the country's iconic landmarks, from the imposing temples of Luxor and Karnak to the timeless wonders of Aswan. On board a luxurious river cruise, you can relax in comfort while marvelling at the ever-changing landscapes along the riverbanks. Whether basking in the golden glow of sunset on deck or exploring ancient ruins on shore excursions, cruising down the River Nile is a magical experience that leaves an indelible impression on all who embark on this timeless voyage.

Egypt offers a vibrant and diverse nightlife. From bustling city streets to serene riverside cafes, there's something for everyone to enjoy after dark. In major cities like Cairo and Alexandria, lively bars, clubs, and lounges come to life, offering everything from pulsating electronic music and belly dancing clubs to traditional live performances. For those seeking a more relaxed evening, quaint cafes along the Nile River provide the perfect setting to unwind with a shisha pipe or enjoy traditional Egyptian tea while soaking in stunning views of the illuminated city skyline. Whether you're looking to dance the night away or savour quiet moments of reflection, Egypt's nightlife promises unforgettable experiences for all.

With many hotels in Egypt serving up a selection of international dishes for British holidaymakers to enjoy, it is easy to spend your time in Egypt enjoying the flavours of home. However, we think everyone should try their taste-tingling cuisines. From the yummy breakfast dish Shakshuka and the family-favourite stew-like meal Fattah to Koshary, the carb-packed combination of macaroni, rice and beans flavoured with tomatoes and tangy sauce; there’s a whole world of food waiting to be tried. But if you want something simple to start with, why not begin with dessert? Konafa, a pastry soaked in syrup stuffed with creamy cheese and topped with nuts for that extra crunch, is a delight everyone will enjoy.
