A far cry from the ancient landmarks and labyrinth of Unesco World Heritage sites in Luxor and Cairo, expect a cosmopolitan fusion of culture and tradition on an all-inclusive holiday to Egypt’s camel sands. Cost-effective resorts on the Red Sea Riviera are bringing new contenders to the international tourism arena. Think glamourous marinas, thalassotherapy spas and world-renowned scuba diving reefs.
Big-name holiday hotspots with buzzing nightlife scenes such as Hurghada and Sharm El-Sheikh meet the lesser-known rural luxuries of Dahab in Egypt, all fringed by miles of warm turquoise coastline. From kitesurfing over the teeming corals to embracing local Bedouin culture at buzzing bazaars and desert safaris to dramatic national parks, there’s a bucket-list worth of excursions at every stop.
