Where to go on an Egypt holiday
I have always thought that one day I would visit Egypt. If you think of Egypt, you naturally think of antiquities – a place where the term ‘Giza’ is not referring to a cheeky-chappy from the London’s East End!. The Pyramids rather than beautiful beaches and crystal clear water are what jumps into my mind.
If your idea of great luxury holidays involves being near or in water, then Hurghada may well be the place for you. This great place has lots to do, and is no surprise that it is known as the ‘Red Sea Riviera’. You can do sailing, windsurfing, deep-sea fishing and diving amongst many other activities. The good thing about Hurghada and diving is that you don’t have to be an expert. You only need a snorkel to witness some to the most wonderful underwater scenes in the world.
Four miles south the southern section of Sharm El Sheikh stands on a cliff overlooking the port. and is a great view.
Na’ama Beach is one of the centre of the tourist activities. Located just north of Sharm, this area is developing into a resort town of its own. Most Sharm El Sheikh hotels at Na’ama Bay have their own, private beaches with comfortable amenities such as chairs, shades and even bars.
Shark’s Bay is also nearby, and again is a growing resort community with more and more to offer, along with several diving centers.
If an Egyptian beach holiday is not what you are looking for, then consider a tranquil cruise on one of the longest rivers in the world. A Nile cruise is the perfect way of seeing life as it has always been in Egypt. These sights have changed little over the years, and should inspire great feeling inside. The tour typically takes you to Esna, where you walk among the temple of Amun Ra, and see the temple of Karnak. The ship sail down the river to Aswan and the great dam, whose engineering would have received the approval of the pharoahs!

All World: Greatest Hits $6.23 The very epitome of “been there, done that,” LL Cool J also has the distinction of having originated (or, at least, being the most proficient at) half a dozen rap styles. On the hits collection All World, all the phases are represented: he was “hard as hell” on 1986′s “Rock the Bells” and again on 1991′s “Mama Said Knock You Out”; on 1987′s “I Need Love,” he was the painfully sappy precursor to Bo… |

Falling Into You $5.00 Canadian thrush Celine Dion is primarily a singles artist, which is a good thing, because the soaring, epic style she brings to nearly all of her material is thrilling in four-minute bursts, but nearly overwhelming at album length. Falling into You is Dion’s finest attempt to temper that approach–mixing low-key love songs and dance pop between showstoppers such as “It’s All Coming Back to Me Now”… |
