Egypt 'is top choice for North African travel'

Holidaymakers keen on luxury travel across North Africa have been advised to opt for Egypt as a starting point.

According to travel specialist Chris Brown, Sharm el Sheikh in Egypt is an ideal choice for travellers keen on venturing outside of Europe as it offers plenty of areas to explore.

He also extolled the virtues of Turkey as a worthy holiday choice, because its location straddling both Europe and Asia is ideal for holidaymakers seeking a certain level of familiarity combined with something slightly different and exotic.

"Resorts like Marmaris are brilliant for British holidaymakers, as a range of cuisines can be found in the restaurants and there are plenty of activities to keep tourists busy," Mr Brown said.

According to Travelbite, Dalaman is a an ideal holiday choice for travellers heading to the south-western coast of Turkey, as it offers a wide range of activities for people of all tastes, including mud bathing, white water rafting and bird watching.
