Egypt - Accommodation and Special Offers

With a civilisation and heritage of over five thousand years, travel to Egypt for a luxurious cultural experience or for a beach holiday which also offers something a little out of the ordinary. Imagine drifting slowly in a felucca along the banks of the Nile or luxuriating in the full glamour of a cruise, with five course dinners and excellent wines. Imagine diving amidst brilliant corals and exotic fish in the clear waters of Egypt's Red Sea at world famous sites such as Ras Mohamed National Park, before returning to the sumptuous surroundings of some of the country's best resorts. We offer the finest luxury holidays to Egypt including exclusive resorts in Sharm el Sheikh - many of which are ideally suited to family holidays. Egypt is one civilisation woven from many strands, threaded by successive and intertwining eras - creating a diverse culture. Traditions, philosophies and religious beliefs are still visible in the accumulation of monuments and sites witnessing this unique heritage. Ancient ports that date back to the Pharaonic times, today are better known as some of the best diving and fishing resorts in the world. White sands backdropped by desert mountains and year round sunshine, Egypt is a destination that is consistently rewarding to visit.

Egyptian Antiquities Museum, Cairo - This famous museum houses the world's largest collection of ancient Egyptian artefacts (more than 120,000 items on display) featuring the famous Tutankhamun collection with its beautiful gold death mask and sarcophagus and the royal Mummy room, which houses an additional eleven Pharaonic dignitaries. Pyramids of Giza - Perhaps the most recognisable amongst the Seven Wonders of the World, the exact origin of these majestic pyramids continues to spark debate. Temple of Karnak, Luxor - This city of temples was built over 2000 years and is still capable of overshadowing many of the wonders of the modern world. Abu Simbel - The awe-inspiring Abu Simbel temples in the south of Aswan date back to the beginning of civilisation.

Food - Egypt's cultural heritage has been coloured by all of the great Mediterranean cultures, and Egyptian cooking is a fabulous combination of different dishes. Sumptuous delicacies are seasoned with a host of exotic spices, from mouthwatering bite-sized mezze to charcoal-grilled skewers of chicken or stuffed lamb. Nothing complements a meal better than a cup of steaming mint tea or an intense shot of arabic coffee with a piece of sweet baklava on the side. Shopping - Egypt's bustling bazaars offer everything from exquisite jewellery to hand-woven carpets, papyrus paintings, pipes and perfumes whilst herb shops serve up ancient remedies like liquorice powders and other mysterious medicines. Built at the tail end of the fourteenth century, the magnificent Khan el-Khalili is the biggest bazaar in Egypt and the Middle East. It is a veritable Aladdin's cave with a meandering maze of brightly coloured stalls, glittering with endless lamps and lanterns in gold, copper and silver - the heady scent of incense fuses the air. Treasures include backgammon boards and beautiful boxes inlaid intricately with mother-of-pearl.

CLIMATE Very hot, dry summers are followed by mild, dry winters. November to March is the best season for touring. The Red Sea coast is pleasant year-round with fewer climatic extremes. CAPITAL Cairo TIME DIFFERENCE GMT +2 hours in winter GMT +3 hours in summer CURRENCY Egyptian Pound
