Egypt

Located in Northern Africa, Egypt has the bustling capital city Cairo, awe-inspiring pyramids and ancient Luxor temples. Egypt is a fascinating and mysterious destination, which has been drawing in visitors for centuries.

Egypt offers arguably some of the most spectacular sightseeing in the world, in a country where both the ancient and the modern world exist side by side. Here you can gaze at the pyramids in Cairo, cruise up the Nile in true Agatha Christie style, snorkel amongst some of the world’s best corals, or simply laze on beaches at luxurious Red Sea resorts including the famous Sharm el-Sheikh.

Sharm El Sheikh is a large and popular resort on the southern tip of the Sinai peninsula, close to Ras Mohammed national park which features some of the world’s most beautiful underwater scenery.

The Siwa Oasis is one of Egypt's most isolated settlements, located by the Great Sand Sea, one of the most dramatic dune deserts in the entire Sahara. Siwa used to be called Ammonium because it was home to the oracle of Amon and the temple ruins can still be seen today.
