Where to go in Egypt

There's something for everyone in the Land of the Pharaohs. Culture vultures can gnaw on the evidence of some of the most advanced and sophisticated ancient civilsations in the world in Cairo, Luxor and Aswan, all of which dovetail beautifully with the beautiful beaches and superb diving of the Red Sea Coast. A very favourable climate all helps make this a fab destination:
