Brochure Guide


From the Pyramids at Giza, to Abu Simbel on the shores of Lake Nasser, Egypt is a country of outstanding beauty and contrast. The lush greenery on the banks of the Nile stops abruptly to give way to rocky cliffs and the sands of the dessert. Relax and be pampered in one of the many luxurious hotels or onboard one of the 300 cruise ships on the Nile, and then take advantage of some of the miriad of guided tours to the most amazing tombs, museums and temples of this ancient civilisation.

Sharm El Sheikh review

"Sharm - where the sun ALWAYS shines!"

As we only stayed at Sharm for one week, and our hotel resort was fab, we did not take in as much of the surrounding areas as we had planned, although we did spend a couple of nights out in Naama Bay and also Soho Square.

We enjoyed the atmosphere and found plenty of places to enjoy a drink and bite to eat. Prices were average, with imported drinks being quite expensive - but this was expected.

We went on one trip out, where we enjoyed snorkelling in various locations - which we really enjoyed, the underwater life is so fascinating - and maybe on our next visit we will try some diving, as I can imagine this would be excellent.

Regarding weather, we were told that we would not see a cloud in the sky all week BUT we did have a day and half of rain - in the place where the sun always shines! So anyone travelling to Sharm over the next 12 months or so, can rest assured that it will not happen while you are there :)

Not a lot to do - eating out is a bit pricey and there isn't really any nightlife. The closest thing to a pub was hard rock cafe.

water is beautiful along with the beach but as far as Taba Heights main town resort I didn't like it as it was over priced tat and very russian orientated. If you are not interested in shopping then I would recomend as the beaches and sea life are truly amazing and beautiful

Hygiene standards in the restaurants is questionable, the locals hassle you constantly for money and to get you into their shops to ultimately rip you off. If you question the price you receive abuse from shop owners/workers.

Red sea has got to be seen it’s unreal. Best bit about Egypt is its sea we loved every minute of it while swimming with all the different types of fish. Weather is beautiful cannot fault Egypt itself.
