Egypt Holidays - The History
Libra holidays Offers to Egypt change daily to suit your every need. Five thousand years ago the chain of independent city-states lining the River Nile united to form one long, thin country ruled by one king, or pharaoh. Almost instantly a highly distinctive culture developed. For almost 30 centuries Egypt remained the foremost nation in the Mediterranean world. Then, in 332 BC, the arrival of Alexander the Great heralded the end of the Egyptian way of life.All ancient civilisations have contributed in some way to the development of modern society.The unique culture was quickly buried beneath successive layers of Greek, Roman and Arabic tradition, and all knowledge of Egypt's glorious past was lost. Only the decaying stone monuments, their hieroglyphic texts now unreadable, survived as silent witnesses to a long lost civilisation.Some 2,000 years on, however, the ancient hieroglyphs have been decoded and Egyptology - the study of ancient Egypt - is booming. At a time when Latin and ancient Greek are rapidly vanishing from the school curriculum, more and more people are choosing to read hieroglyphs in their spare time. And the Egyptian galleries of our museums are packed with visitors, while the galleries dedicated to other ancient cultures remain empty.

Egypt Holidays - The Country
Egypt holidays - Cairo is the largest city in EgyptEgypt is bounded on the north by the Mediterranean Sea, on the east by Israel and the Red Sea, on the south by Sudan, and on the west by Libya. Cairo is the capital and largest city in Egypt, and the most modern in the Middle East.Red Sea Diving HolidaysDiving The Red Sea - An underwater paradiseDiving holidays in the Red Sea have an excellent reputation and attract scuba divers and snorkellers from all over the world. One of the great attractions of diving the Red Sea is the quality and diversity of Red Sea hotels and resorts on the stunning Red Sea Riviera in Egypt, just a 5 hour flight from Britain. Diving the Red Sea opens up a vast area of amazing underwater scenery with coral gardens, deep blue canyons and famous wrecks like the Thistlegorm and the Dunraven. One look at the huge schools of fish and dramatic walls of the Ras Mohammed and Tiran Island dive sites near Sharm el Sheikh and you will see why diving the Red Sea has become so popular. Other famous Red Sea diving sites include Giftun Island in Hurghada and the amazing Canyon and Blue Hole near the romantic resort of Dahab. Diving the Red Sea is an attractive option from Marsa Alam and the southern Hamata region with its spectacular marine parks and pristine reefs. Other popular bases for diving the Red Sea include Nuweiba, El Gourna, El Quesir and Soma Bay. Diving the Red Sea from live-aboard cruises allows divers to explore distant practically untouched dive sites.Search for Egypt holidays to all resorts including holidays to aswanRed Sea Diving - First-class instruction and amazing dive sitesDiving the Red Sea owes its excellent worldwide reputation to the region's extraordinary bio-diversity, with over 1000 species of amazingly colourful fish, including turtles, sharks, manta rays and dolphins. The superb all-year-round climate, clear warm water and easily accessed shallow dive sites make Red Sea diving a very attractive option for beginners. Red Sea diving courses are typically between 2 to 5 days. Professional Red Sea diving centres offer PADI diving courses that include practice dives with direct supervision. Diving the Red Sea is well within the capabilities of any reasonably fit person and attracts all ages from children to the elderly. Red Sea diving schools also offer first class local information and daily excursions. Diving the Red Sea is also popular with experienced and expert divers. Red Sea diving centres offer refresher courses and advanced techniques for enjoying the more challenging sites.Red Sea Diving Holidays - Great beaches and desert adventureDiving the Red Sea need not occupy all your time, as easy access to offshore islands and dive sites makes even short half day dives a possibility. As well as diving, the Red Sea also offers tremendous windsurfing, kite surfing and waterskiing. Red Sea diving holidays could also include horse and camel riding, trekking, adventurous desert safaris and visits to the famous ancient sites of Egypt. Or just relax on the fabulous soft white sandy Red Sea beaches with their swaying palms and warm sparkling turquoise water.

Egypt Holidays - The People
Holidays to Egypt, the mystical land of the Pharaohs has amazing sights and very friendly and proud people who are also very proud of the famous antiquities, including the wonderful temples and Pyramids. As part of the Holy Land, holidays to Christian and other religious monuments are popular. Egypt holidays offer great scuba diving and even golf. Alternatively, holiday visitors can relax on Egypt's superb Red Sea beaches, or take in the high culture of Cairo, including opera, good restaurants and its busy nightlife.

Egypt Holidays - Food and Drink
In Egypt, dining out can range from stand-up sandwich bars to luxurious five-course meals. You can find small, inexpensive establishments that serve good Egyptian food for only a few pounds. If you're in a hurry, try the local snack bars. While the cubbyholes off the street (which probably have running water) are generally safe. The larger cities even have Western-style fast-food chains like McDonald's and Kentucky Fried Chicken, but they're relatively expensive. In cities both food and water are safe although the change in your diet may produce short-term gastrointestinal upsets.

Egypt Holidays - Transport
Travelling by road in Egypt is smooth. Most roads say, Aswan to Luxor, Aswan to Abu Simbel, Sharm to Dahab, Dahab to Sinai, Cairo to Bahariya are in good condition. You have to travel by the convoy from Aswan to Abu Simbel & Aswan to Luxor. There is no rash driving, as was mentioned in some posts, guess it depends on your luck too. Though they drive at good speeds, the roads are empty & the entire convoy uses a good indicator system while overtaking or warning about bad narrow roads ahead. Convoys do not stop for bathroom or food breaks, so be prepared. The drive to Abu Simbel is non-stop. The drive to Luxor has breaks at 2 sites  Kom Ombo & Edfu.
