Egyptian beauty
Egypt sits at the north of Africa bordering both the Mediterranean and Red Sea. It is a country that can seem worlds apart from the UK's culture and history. Egypt's attraction is undoubtedly its weather, culture and history, with overflowing bouts of all three.
Egypt's profile as a holiday destination has risen in the last few years, with its tourist trade booming of recent years. Its provision of extravagant resorts, water sports and entertainment makes it an ideal spot for a great all-inclusive holiday. Such resorts as Sharm El-Sheikh provide well for the sun-seeking tourist requiring no more than a good beach side hotel.
As well as the typical beach holiday tourist trade, there is also a huge holiday market for the cultural and historical side to Egypt. Egypt hosts the great pyramids of the Seven Wonders of the World. It also plays a key location within the some stories of the bible, as Moses parted the Red Sea as he led his people out of Egypt. It is a country that beholds an unexplained air of mystery.
Much of the history of Egypt and the Egyptians is taught to us throughout school. We learn the story of Tutankhamen, pharaohs and the related ways all those year ago. Perhaps this contributes to our opinion of Egypt as an ancient and mysterious place.
Unfortunately Egypt has faced a fair amount negative media recently due to the shark attack at resort Sharm El-Sheikh. This came at a price to the tourist trade, with visitors not wanting to enter the sea in fear of shark attack. Us Brits are not used to such a natural threat and so will steer clear of anywhere that appears unsafe.
However, regardless of this minor blip, Egypt offers a getaway that guarantees something different. The hot weather is an attraction in itself, yet it offers so much more. If you are looking to experience a different culture and lifestyle then definitely give Egypt a visit.
