Egypt Holidays bring forth the mighty Nile, magnificent monuments, desert and lush delta. The people here are warm, welcoming and are born story-tellers. There are sand-covered tombs, enticing pyramids and towering Pharaonic temples, which in all brings out the explorer in all the travellers.

Undoubtedly, Egypt is one of the most popular holiday destinations with couples and family alike. A country such as Egypt hosts world-renowned historical treasures, famous temples, pyramids, and mystifying tombs. That is not it, you also have the coral reefs of the Red Sea Rivera that make for an awesome Egypt Holiday.

If you look at the landscape, the country is divided into four geographical areas – the Nile Valley and Delta, Western Desert, Eastern Desert and the Sinai Peninsula. So if you are going on Egypt Holiday, you are in for sandy deserts, mountains, lakes and territorial waters.

A typical Egypt Holiday includes a visit to Cairo’s bustling bazaars, lazing around in the sun-kissed beaches of Hurghada, snorkelling at Naama Bay and the one and only resort town of Sharm El Sheikh that is host to the lively nightlife scene.

Egypt is split into two seasons: summer and winter. While it is scorching hot in July and August along with humidity that stays even after it turns dark, make sure that your room is air-conditioned when you book a hotel in Egypt. November to April is considered to be the best months to travel because there is one thing that Egypt is always going to be hot.

British passport holders do not require a visa. You can directly visit the Visa2Egypt portal or your nearest Egyptian consulate. Your passport must have 6 months validity from the return date of travel, two clear pages inside, and a valid return ticket.

There is never a dearth of places to see or things to do in Egypt. Be it you want a history-filled educational tour with family or a relaxing beach break with your partner, you can get whatever you want.
