With the pound not doing terribly well against the euro, holiday locations outside the eurozone are suddenly becoming remarkably popular. One country outside the zone that has always been well-loved, regardless of the state of play of international finance, is the fascinating and sun-drenched country of Egypt, which has attracted generation after generation of tourists. If you are intrigued by ancient history, and have always wanted to see the Pyramids and the Sphinx, then now is a good time to head for the Land of the Pharaohs. If along with your interest in history and ancient monuments you also enjoy fine beaches, with swimming and snorkelling in clear blue seas with wonderful coral reefs, as well as windsurfing, sailing and yachting, then Egypt wins hands down. Here you can enjoy sun, sea and sand, deserts and oases, the wonders of the Nile Valley, and some monuments that are not just world-class now, but were must-sees of the ancient world too. In fact the Great Pyramid of Giza is all that remains standing of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
Head for the Red Sea Riviera and you will find top resorts such as El Gouna which is built on several islands connected by bridges, and is regarded as an Arabian Venice. You will also find resorts such as Hurghada with its great nightlife, Marsa Alam which is renowned for its natural beauty, and the top quality resort of Port Ghalib with its fine marina. On the southern tip of the Sinai peninsula is Sharm El-Sheikh which offers some of the best diving in the world.
So if what to do this summer is proving to be a bit of a riddle, let the Sphinx provide the answer and tempt you to Egypt.
