Why do people really like Sharm El Sheikh and what is so great about? Is there something that we really do love about this place that could explain why it is one of the most popular destinations for holidays in the world?

There are two very important factors that make Sharm El Sheikh the tourist location that it is today. The main and biggest reason is the diving capabilities. Sharm has been spoken about by many divers as probably the best locations in the world. One massive factor is simply the amount of biological diversity in the Red Sea, the corals in this ocean are very easy to find as there are so many, there are around 250 in this area alone! You don’t even need to go Scuba Diving to reach the corals, they are so open and easy to reach. The fact that there are so many different fish here, means that people can see something new every time they visit, there are actually about 1000 species here. This means that experienced divers can analyse a different group of fish each time they come here.

All of these diving goodies have brought another form of tourism to the coasts of Sharm El Sheikh; this is called “scientific tourism”. The people that like to study fish or coral and analyse them, this is what this holiday is kitted out for. This form of tourism also usually involves quite a lengthy stay which tour operators and airlines are more than happy to cater for.

The weather helps to bring in Tourists to this place. Egypt is very warm and dry, making it a great place for sunning. With the rest of Africa as an exception this is one of the driest places on the planet, with a tiny amount of rain falling in its ground each year. The temperatures can even reach around 38 degrees at their peak in July.

Sharm El Sheikh holidays are great, they are even more popular than Caribbean holidays and Maldives holidays combined! St Lucia holidays and Barbados holidays will have to step up their game!

Many people find this question incredibly difficult to answer. Some people don’t even think about the answer, and it even takes them a while to say something. Many people will immediately just say something along the lines of, “Because I want to”! So there is in short, no real actual reason for anybody going on holiday if this is the case. Now everyone has a reason, they just don’t really want to tell us?

There were a few people who just hesitated, and mumbled i just want time off work. This is the best answer I got, and can understand what people mean by this. If you don’t enjoy your work, or if it doesn’t give you what you need, then get a new one, unless of course it pays well, in which case keep it!

However, we can just get away from our jobs whenever we want, and most of us do every weekend, so what’s the problem? Meeting new people and living with a completely different culture, this is a holiday that actually has meaning, although not many people gave this answer. This was the answer I was looking for, the one where people had actually set their mind to something and really thought about it. This is a much more sensible answer, you want to further your knowledge of the world.

Now the answer that really rubbed me up the wrong way was “Because there is nothing else to do”! These are the people that just need ignoring. How can you say there isn’t anything better, you what, excuse me that makes no sense! These people do hurt my brain a bit, and I had to sit down for a while after speaking to them.

But really, do we NEED a reason to go on holiday? Well in simple truth, NO you don’t, its up to you. Make sure that you don’t get told something different.

For Caribbean holidays, Maldives holidays, Sri Lanka holidays, maybe you should visit a tour operator!

Deciding on a country to visit can be easy when preparing for a holiday. The country bit is easy, it’s when you get to a smaller location you need to really think about it? How about I give you a couple of the best destinations in the world, and they just so happen to be in the same country! These two locations in Egypt are relatively close to each other, but we will start with the one further north.

Sharm El Sheikh is a grand awe inspiring country, built for royalty. This is a great place to travel to, not to mention one of the most luxurious places in the world in terms of accommodation. Diving in Sharm offers any diver a great experience, from swimming with wildlife to wreck diving. Don’t like camels or horses, then no need to worry, you can borrow a Quad Bike for travelling cross country! Sharm El Sheikh is one of the biggest cities in Egypt, and it isn’t short on what it can offer, because of it’s position in Egypt, it is easy to access other places like Cairo. This is where the Sphinx is and you can travel to the Pyramids as well. Visiting St Catherine’s Monostery is a must, and is a gorgeous sight. Because of this buildings importance in the religious world, it is highly regarded and visited very often.

This next wonderful location is south of Sharm El Sheikh, but next to the red sea, this is Hurghada. Hurghada is great for those that just want to go free diving or snorkeling, the corals and wildlife can be seen from the surface. If you still want to enjoy the underwater world and see all of the coral and wildlife, but don’t want to get wet, then you can always hitch a ride on one of the Glass Bottom boats that are around. You can even travel out on safari here as well. Tour Operators in Hurghada also give people the opportunity to go out into the desert on Jeeps and other sand buggies. It also gives you the chance to travel to villages like Bedduin, which are situated in the middle of the desert, and you can see how they live in this harsh climate.

So Egypt holidays sound good now, or there is always Sharm El Sheikh holidays, or now if you really don’t fancy either of these and just want to forget about work, maybe you should try Maldives holidays!

Now here comes that White Christmas, you know the one that you have been waiting for.. Not for all of us? It would seem that lately people are more interested in the warmth that Christmas brings, not just to our hearts (Ahhh) but also to our bodies.

Baking in the sun seems to be the new thing at Christmas, so no longer is Snow the king of the Christmas period, soon it will be forgotten. The Christmas period brings with it offers on holidays across the world. But this time, the tourists of the world want to go on these warm holidays, instead of enjoying the snow. Christmas holiday sales are already up this year, and many of you are looking for locations like St Lucia or Barbados.

When you browse through these holidays, and where they are, you will be shocked at the cost, they are very cheap. The competition is out there and tour operators are doing what they can to bring prices down and offer us the best deals, to try and entice us into the Christmas holidays they have available. However what is it in particular that has made these holidays so popular, that people are trying to buy them, left, right and centre.

The whole world is warming up, and not many people like the snow anyway. Snow can be great for some fun times, but not for the warmth. As for how Christmas should be spent now, people just want that nice sandy warm beach and warm weather. The best option now is to take the family on holiday, this is a great present. Not many people will complain, and its easier to arrange than a Christmas at home.

So what are you doing this Christmas, maybe instead of Caribbean holidays, you could try Maldives holidays or Dubai holidays, they are still just as warm, and not too mention just as luxurious.

Many people argue about which drinks are the best and the most popular in the world. Beer is by far the biggest selling alcoholic drink the world, no doubt about it, it’s not wine! So now that I have cleared up that the Beer is the king of all the alcoholic drinks, why don’t we all just sit down and look at what the popular drinks are in different countries, I have picked some randoms. So let’s start somewhere random then move onto some larger places:

Cuba is the place of cocktails. The Cuban cocktail country, is ready to divulge to you one of its most amazing drinks, that we all love called the Cuba Libre. Cuba Libre, this is a very easy and quick drink to make up, with only three ingredients, mainly Rum and coke, with a slice of lime. People really do seem to like this simple and easy to prepare drink. There is also the Mojito, loved by many tourists, but also all over the world.

Egypt, this is our next stop. Egypt is obviously much larger than Cuba, and many more holiday makers head here. Holiday Makers, just can’t resist Stella in Egypt. And for everyone reading this, no it’s not the traditional Stella Artois. It is in fact a beer with a 4.5%abv which is quite high for a gentle tasting beer. It is actually owned by Heineken and is brewed in a brewery called Alaham Beverages.

America is the big one. Anything that comes to mind? Probably not what you would presume, but the fastest selling beer is a Budweiser beer, but not Bud. Its Budweiser light. This is the alcoholic drink that is great for one and only one reason, that it doesn’t get you drunk very quickly. In the United States the beer, Bud is the second biggest seller, whereas its smaller version is the larger seller.

So are you seeking for Egypt holidays, Cuba holidays or how about something a little more unique like Maldives holidays, where you can invent your own maybe more experimental cocktail?
