Family and kids
Our advice is to relax in popular beach resorts - Hurghada, Taba and Sharm El Sheikh. You can visit Luxor, Karnak and Valley of Kings.

Couple
You can spend wonderful time in hotel complex with a wide offer of water sport activities. If you are fan of tours, prepare your trip plan and visit Luxor, Karnak and Abu Simbel.

Group
Relax in popular resort Sharm El Sheikh and Visit Mount of Sinai. Climb to Elijah´s Hollow or Seven Elders of Israel. You can try an accomodation in Bedouin camps in St. Catherine if your group is small one.

Seniors
First of all we would like to pay your attention to high temperature in Egypt. Our suggestion is to visit country since October to April. The good choice is to visit Cairo, Giza and Alexandria. If you want to visit Mount of Sinai, choose as your holiday resort Sharm El Sheikh.

Single
You can take an advantage of boat trips across the Nile (Nile cruiser). You can visit Luxor, Karnak, Abydos, Dendera and take a rest in Hurghada.

Biker
Nice routes are in the city Aswan. You can enjoy mountain biking in Dahab. There are nice coastline views.

Skier
There are no possibilities for skiing in Egypt.

Adventurer
Our advice is to visit Siwa Oasis. This is a pearl in the Western dessert. The trip to the oasis is available from Cairo and Alexandria. The second tip is to enjoy a quad bike adventure across the beautiful Sinai Desert. This adventure is offered in Sharm El Sheikh resort. The third tip is a jeep safari. The good starting point is in Hurghada.

Explorer
We recommend to visit Taba. It is a good starting point to climb to Mount Sinai and to organise a trip to Petra in Jordan.

Outdoor traveler
1) Oasises in the Western Dessert
2) Moun Sinai and Dahab
3) Lake Nasser (It is an adrenaline trip. Be aware the lake is full of crocodiles.)

1) Diving and scuba diving - our recommended resorts: Sharm El Sheikh (near this resort you can explore the reefs of Tiran and Ras Mohammed) and Taba (Ras Abu Galoum - Blue Hole).
2) Horseback riding
3) Camel trekking
4) Para sailing
5) Windsurfing (we suggest Dahab)
