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!
