As a Tourist, What’s there to doin Egypt?



We all know that Egypt is home to the Great Pyramid of Giza, as well as the Sphinx, but there’s much more to see and do ontour packages Egypt, in a country that offers a rich and diverse experience to the open traveller. Below, we are going to take a look at some of the most popular activities.

The Red Sea Resorts
If you have even a passing affinity with water then you have to experience the wonders of the Red Sea at least once in your lifetime. The Red Sea is one of the most spectacular bodies of water in the world. A protected site, the coral reef walls are an incredible site, teeming with spectacular fish and coral. This is something that you need to see to believe. Fish of all colours of the rainbow, coral of all the colours under the sun, it is simply breath taking. This is no exaggeration; it truly is a remarkable site. For this reason, the Red Sea is one of the world’s most popular dive sites.

Diving
As mentioned above, the Red Sea is a popular dive site. If you’ve never dived before, then don’t worry because you can take your PADI openwater diving test in the Red Sea, and it is much cheaper than in the UK. If you cannot afford the PADI openwater, then you can always join a snorkelling excursion. There are many about, but they all work in a similar manner. You take a boat with other tourists, and those people who are strong enough swimmers, and who want to do it, jump off the boat and into the water. The boat then sails off to the rendezvous point, and the group of snorkelers (and divers) swim there. If you do this, then keep an eye out for the porcelain toilets! They’re the relics of a boat wreck, and quite a funny site to see.

Glass Bottom Boats
For those of you who are worried about getting in the water – some people feel scared about being in open water, while other people are afraid of the potential of shark attacks (- which, incidentally is very small, but exists nonetheless) – you can take a tour on the glass bottom boats. These are incredible. They are as they sound boats with glass bottoms. You will be able to see schools of tropical fish as they swim under your boat. This is breath taking. 


Sinai Desert

·         Camel rides: take a tour thought the desert by camel – bring something to protect your bottom!
