HOLIDAY HIGHLIGHTS
Camel rides in the desert > Scuba diving on a shipwreck or snorkelling on coral reefs > Sunset behind the pyramids > Kids Clubs in both Red Sea resorts > Spa treatments > Felucca trip down the Nile
For winter sun, warm sea and the best diving within easy reach of Europe, Egypt’s Red Sea coast is the place to go. In particular, the Four Seasons at Sharm el Sheikh and the Oberoi at Sahl Hasheesh are two excellent, family-friendly resorts with top class facilities.
Both resorts have professional, in-house dive centres that are the perfect environment for learning to dive. Once qualified, the beautiful underwater world can be explored at dozens of dive sites, including numerous shipwrecks and the colourful reefs of the Ras Mohammed National Marine Park. Here your urchins can come face-to-face with their marine equivalents and other spectacular sea life such as parrotfish, lionfish and turtles.
For kids too young to dive, there is still great snorkelling and all kinds of other activities on land and sea. Both resorts have kids clubs, tennis courts, private sandy beaches with a variety of watersports on offer, and can organise excursions such as boat trips or camel rides in the desert. For parents, there are spa treatments and excellent restaurants to enjoy.
On the way to or from the Red Sea, stop off in Cairo to visit the nearby pyramids and the Sphinx at Giza. They say that in the eyes of a child there are no seven wonders of the world, there are seven million. To eyes young or old, the Great Pyramid – the sole survivor of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World – is an awesome sight. It contains over two million blocks of stone, took 20,000 workers 20 years to build and was the tallest building in the world for more than 4,000 years.
Once you’ve stood and gawped at this extraordinary feat of engineering, take a relaxing boat trip down the Nile in a private felucca (traditional wooden sailing boat) or relax at the Oberoi Mena House, in the shadow of the pyramids, where facilities include a large pool, tennis courts, horse riding and an 18-hole golf course.
