As soon as you hear the name Egypt, images of the pyramids tend to be the first things that spring to mind. The Great Pyramids are one of the Seven Wonders of the World and are one of the most popular tourist attractions in Egypt, but Egypt has so much more to offer.

If you want to spend your holiday unwinding, then you’re in the best place for it. For an unforgettable experience, you can take a relaxing Nile cruise and sail away down the world’s longest river, taking in the picturesque scenery. Sharm El Sheikh is home to many incredible spas, and so you can treat yourself to a traditional Egyptian massage, indulge in a mud bath or pamper yourself with treatments at a luxury spa.

For those who love adventure, Egypt has so many activities! For an adrenaline rush, you can jump on a quad bike and explore the Eastern Desert, or if you prefer being underwater rather than in the desert, you can go scuba diving and snorkeling in the Mediterranean  and see the underwater ruins for yourself. For more underwater entertainment visit the incredible marine life and coral in the Red Sea. Egypt is also home to many beautiful beaches and the year-long sunshine and warm waters mean that you can spend as much time as you want relaxing on the beautiful sandy beaches.

All-inclusive Egypt holidays mean that you don’t need to worry about finding places to eat every day, or the added cost of food. This means you can save your money for wandering around traditional Egyptian markets and taking day trips to other parts of Egypt. Luxor, divided by the Nile River, is often referred to as the world’s greatest open-air museum. Luxor is home to the Valley of the Kings where Tutankhamen’s tomb was discovered, a sight that no trip to Egypt would be complete without.

Holidays to Egypt are becoming ever more popular, with so much to do and see in this ancient place and affordable Cosmos package holidays to tempt visitors. The glorious sunshine means that you can spend your days topping up your tan on the beach or by the pool, or go exploring and immerse yourself in the remarkable and historical sights that Egypt has to offer.
