Alternatives

One of the beauties of a holiday in Egypt is that it’s possible to enjoy a huge variety of experience within one great country. As well as your stay in the Red Sea and Sinai region, you can spend time in very contrasting areas like the Nile Valley, the Deserts and Oases region. In both areas, you can be sure of stunning scenery and a real feeling that history is all around you. Egypt’s excellent internal transport means that getting around is easy, whether you intend to add a full week to your Red Sea stay, or simply head off to a different region for a day or two from your main holiday base.

Many tour operators offer excellent packages, and you have the choice of booking a package before you leave home or simply choose anattractive option courtesy of your hotel or local operator at your resort. The choice is vast, but let’s take a look at some ideas.

Accommodation

Whether you plan a stay in a fabulous five-star or four-star hotel, a floating hotel on the River Nile or you are set to enjoy a backpacking experience with overnight stops along the way you can expect an increasingly high standard of facilities in Egypt. The country enjoys a high level of amenities and comfort at exceptional value-formoney.



With its history dating back to ancient civilisations, its world-class
archaeological sites, landmarks Visitors to Egypt have lots of choice when deciding where and in what type of accommodation to stay. In the luxury and historical sector of the market there’s the former hunting lodge the Mena House Oberoi overlooking the pyramids, or

the 19th century Cairo Marriott that opened at the same time as the Suez Canal, the five-star Sofitel Old Cataract, one of ‘Death on the Nile’ writer Agatha Christie’s favourite hotels and one of Egypt’s most famous. It is located on the banks of the Nile at Aswan. In Luxor, the Sofitel Winter Palace is a landmark five-star hotel next to
the Nile. You get a great view of the Valley of the Kings on the opposite of the river.


Or, El Salamlek in Alexandria, which used to be the residence of the Royal family. Many visitors to Egypt do so to enjoy a spa and wellbeing break or the chance to enjoy several rounds of golf. The lavish Intercontinental Citystars in Cairo, the Four Seasons Health Club and Spa in Alexandria, the Charm Life El Alamein, Luxor’s
Hilton Resort and Spa, and Sofitel Karnak, or the Mena Ville resort at like the Pyramids of Giza and the Valley of the Kings, its deserts,

diving waters and vibrant resorts along its coastline, Egypt attracts
visitors from every corner of the globe. Whether visitors opt for a
top class luxury hotel in Alexandria or along the Mediterranean Coast, the Nile Valley’s Cairo, Luxor or Aswan, at one of the fabulous resorts in the Red Sea and Sinai regions or choose a specialist venue like a spa centre, a boutique or historical hotel, an ecolodge, golf resort or a desert camp, the hotels in Egypt cater for all tastes and budgets, making visitors’ stays a memory that will last a lifetime. 



Safaga, the Stella Di Mare Ain Sokhna on the Red Sea coast or the Savoy and Grand Rotana at Sharm el- Sheikh are all among the hotels specialising in spa breaks.


The JW Marriott in Cairo, the Porto Marina in El Alamein, the Steigenberger Al Dau in Hurghada and the Cascades in Soma Bay are just four of Egypt’s top hotels with golf courses.



If you are planning to go ‘off the beaten track’ with a tour you may have the enviable opportunity to stay in one of the country’s ecolodge hotels. At the amazingly beautiful Bahariya Oasis you can stay at the Qasr El-Bawity ecolodge hotel, while at Dakhla the Al Tarfa Desert Sanctuary Luxury Lodge and Spa. Both are located in the Western Desert. In the town of Siwa, one of the western desert’s largest communities, the Adrere Amellal is an ecolodge hotel that has amenities such as its own swimming pool and guestrooms full of
character. A similar experience can be enjoyed in the Sinai region at Basata ecolodge in Nuweiba. Whatever type of hotel you choose you can have the peace of mind in knowing that we are passionate that you should have a wonderful stay in Egypt.
