Luxury Holiday Offer: Egypt

If there is any country in the world whose history is synonymous with luxurious surrounding, it is Egypt. As a fantastic destination for any luxury holiday offer, Egypt and it’s rich history, beautiful natural attributes and thriving tourist industry make for the experience of a lifetime.

The Life of Kings

The draw of Egypt remains strongest in terms of its historical monuments. It is arguably true that the warm clear waters of the Red Sea and its resort towns are a massive attraction in themselves, but the question on most people’s lips when tourists return with holiday snaps is “Did you see the Pyramids!”. We advise you too – they’re rather special after all.

The monuments speak for themselves, but they also speak for the immense power of the Pharaohs, and the regal life of the Ancient Egyptian nobility. It was these great men and women who set out the plans for the wonderful monumental temples which litter the country in great abundance today, bringing adventure hungry tourists in their droves to gaze upon the living past.

That is the magic of Egypt. Whereas many countries have great monuments and edifices of the past standing today, Egypts are more ancient than those of almost any other. The entire country is built around them, and they form the backbone of so much here.

Bridging worlds

In these times of changing international identities, globalisation and mass communication, it is somehow comforting to gaze on the relics of a past which was arguably shaped by similar forces. The people of Ancient Egypt knew who was around the corner, the Roman, the Greek, the Hittite. Their world changed many times over the centuries as their lands fell to the hands of others, enriching and altering the pattern of their once more simple lives.

The interactions between nations are chiselled into the temples, monuments and immortal remains of this great civilisation, and today they still bring people together from all over our planet.

When out and about at Cairo, Luxor or Aswan, it is likely you will share the awesome spectacle with others from around the world, and for even just a brief moment, the barriers will drop. You will be one more in a long line of people gazing in awe at a splendid sight, and you will inevitably share a smile.

Luxury and Power

It is said that in Ancient Egypt, gold was so abundant that silver was considered more valuable. We can’t guarantee golden taps and toilet seats, but we can assure you that with any luxury holiday offer, Egypt and its motivated hospitality industry will satisfy your every need.

The Pharaohs presided over a wealthy land, and their tombs were filled with opulence and treasures beyond imagination to most common people. They kept these tombs secret, filling them with ingenious measures and clever devices to prevent their contents being stolen.

The luxury of Egypt today is as accessible as any in the world, and there is no need to hire a treasure hunting lunatic to get it for you! Cairo and the Red Sea resorts cater for all comers, from shoe string backpackers, to those with a penchant for class and comfort.

Cairo

As the capital city of Egypt, Cairo hotels rank as highly as any on the top end of the luxury scale, with world class facilities as highly maintained as anywhere else in the world. The easy distance of Giza, the wonderous Pyramids and the mysterious Sphinx make Cairo a bustling metropolis and site seeing base all in one.

Luxurious surrounds can be traded for sand dunes and back again with very little trouble, making this city a must see for anyone interested in both history and luxury.

The Red Sea

The Red Sea resorts are mostly geared towards water sports and adventure tours, with desert treks, Rock Climbing and Scuba Diving making up some of the key pursuits to be had. Hotel standards vary, especially in the smaller towns and resorts, but those of Sharm El Sheik vary the most.

Some accommodation here is geared towards supporting independent travellers, budget tourists and backpackers, while there are also some truly spectacular establishments to choose from. With a large ex pat population and highly Westernised attitudes, the standards of Sharm El Sheik’s five star hotels are high and luxury facilities and spa treatments are easily found.

As part of any luxury holiday offer, Egypt tours can include site seeing, spa treatments, museum visits, adventure experiences, water sports, and so much more besides.

There is a reason so many people travel here every year, and that is because Egypt is unique. You have to see it to believe it. The land of the Pharaohs is yours to experience, in luxury conditions the kings and queens of old would themselves be proud of. Just don’t ask them to make the coffee!
