A trip to Egypt promises to be exotic
If you are making a call to pass your holiday in Egypt, typically you have got a choice of two sea resorts – Hurghada or Sharm El Sheikh. They both are very popular, but Hurghada is situated in African continent while Sharm El Sheikh lies on Sinai cape.
About thirty years gone Hurghada was simply a easy fishing hamlet. But now, with it’s a resort with crystal clear water, untouched reefs. It has become one of the best Egyptian tourist destinations. A big part of its fame Hurghada gained as one of the finest diving centres of the planet. Like all oriental towns Hurghada make living out of trade, so if when you walk along the town, be ready to beat off the pressing offers of the sellers, meriting to make you purchase their mementos. There are some more entertainments except shopping and diving in Hurghada. You can make a jeep trip to a desert, visit Bedouin’s hamlet there ; you can see corals and some natural preserves. Hurghada is also has aqua-park. Fishing is one of the popular visitor’s activities in Hurghada too. Today, Hurghada is understood as a party town, particularly among continentals. Locals and others will tell you that life begins at night in Hurghada, with the many , many clubs. The best time to go to Hurghada is October-November. In winter there are powerful winds and it becomes dark terribly early.
when you’re in Hurghada do not miss the chance to see one of the most excellent monuments of Egypt history – Luxor and the Valley of the King. Pharaoh’s crypts and traditional temples are worth visiting.
Sharm el-Sheikh is one of the most accessible and developed tourist resort communities on the Sinai peninsula. All around are Bedouins, colourful tents, mountains and sea. Na’ama Beach is one of the center of the tourist activities. Located just north of Sharm, this area is developing into a resort town of its own. For those that like shopping, the Sharm El-Sheikh mall provides shops with both foreign and local products, including jewellery, leather products, clothing, pottery and books. Nobody leaves Sharm el-Sheikh without several useless but very pleasant souvenirs. Like Hurghada, Sharm el-Sheikh is feted for diving too, but it has more diversity in corals.
Those, who select Sharm el-Sheikh also has opportunity to watch the attractiveness of Sinai promontory – The monastery of St Catherine, Mount Sinai ( or Mountain of Moses ), Pharaoh’s Island and Salah El Din citadel, Nabq countrywide Park, Ras Abu Galum countrywide Park and so -called ‘Coloured canyon’.
The last but not the least of the Egypt must-sees is Cairo with its pyramids. From either Hurghada or Sharm El-Sheikh it will be a long trip, but you’ll never regret it!
