Discover Egypt past and present in Sharm El Sheikh

Egypt holidays have broadened their appeal to a greater range of travellers in recent years, largely thanks to the development of holiday resorts such as Sharm El Sheikh attracting sun-seekers to the Red Sea coast.



With its idyllic position on the Sinai peninsula, Sharm El Sheikh offers an accessible location for holidaymakers looking to enjoy beach holidays or active breaks in North Africa, as well as the opportunity to explore Egypt's famous history. The area's well developed resort hotels and apartments alongside traditional markets mean that holidays in Sharm El Sheikh offer something for everyone, and have become a popular choice for families and cultural explorers alike.



Holidaymakers looking to enjoy all the amenities of a traditional foreign holiday will be catered for by Sharm El Sheikh's restaurants and nightclubs, as well as opportunities to take in a round of golf at some of Egypt's leading courses. However, those hoping to immerse themselves in an authentic Egyptian experience will also find that the resort hasn't lost touch with its roots; from camel rides and desert safaris to scuba diving in the crystal clear Red Sea, rapidly rising to become one of the world's leading locations for water sports, Sharm El Sheikh is home to a wealth of visitor opportunities that won't be found elsewhere.



Shopping in Sharm El Sheikh can also be a unique experience, with both international and local goods for sale meaning it's easy to find a memento of your trip. Visitors to Sharm El Sheikh can even explore further afield to get more out of their trip to Egypt by taking a connecting flight to other destinations in the country such as historic capital Cairo, home to the famous pyramids and the iconic Sphinx as well as further opportunities to explore Egypt of the past and present.



With around one million British holidaymakers visiting Egypt every year, the country's tourism offerings have become truly first-rate, rivalling those of other popular destinations worldwide. Egypt has also risen in popularity due to its favourable exchange rate against the sterling, which is seeing ever more British holidaymakers setting their sights outside of the eurozone this summer to help their money go further on holidays to remember.



With low prices and exotic opportunities only a medium haul flight from the UK, holidays in Sharm El Sheikh have become established as one of the most popular choices for world travellers in 2010.
