Egypt lies in the northeast of Africa, and it’s mix of African and Middle Eastern elements have made it a popular destination for tourists.
Attracted by the warm climate, ancient landmarks and world-renowned diving spots along the coast, many venture to Egypt in order to take in some culture while soaking up the sun.
With a wide range of hotels and villas available in the countryside, holidaying in the land of the ancient Pharaohs has become more popular in recent times – particularly through exposure in Hollywood movies such as The Mummy.
One of the most recognisable tourist destinations is the Great Pyramid of Giza – the last remaining structure of the Seven Wonders of the World.
Other landmarks, such as the Great Sphinx of Giza and the Valley of the Kings have continued to attract tourists for many years. Many artefacts and relics from various tombs can be viewed at the many museums in Cairo.
For those who are looking to step away from the archeological aspects of the tourism of Egypt, the Red Sea coast offers a range of scenic villas and hotels in Sharm El Sheikh and other resorts.
Sharm El Shiekh has become one of the world’s most popular sites for scuba divers. Many resorts have sprung up around the coast, turning sleepy fishing villages into popular tourist destinations.
Indeed, the Red Sea Peninsula is lined with tourist resorts, with a variety of cheap hotels and shopping centres, as well as crystal clear waters along the coast.
So whether you’re looking to take a stroll around an ancient tomb or take the plunge and experience some of the most beautiful underwater scenery on Earth, Egypt has something to suit your tastes.
