Egypt Is More Than Just All Inclusive: Here’s What’s Waiting Beyond The Resort

Beautiful beaches, warm sunshine and fantastic All Inclusive resorts have made Egypt holidays a popular choice for UK travellers looking to escape to the sun.
But there’s much more to Egypt than relaxing beside the pool.
Beyond the resorts, you’ll find ancient wonders, colourful coral reefs, vast desert landscapes and experiences unlike almost anywhere else.
From the Pyramids of Giza and the temples of Luxor to the underwater world of the Red Sea, Egypt combines a relaxing holiday with plenty of opportunities to explore.

Here’s what could be waiting beyond your resort

Few places in the world bring history to life quite like Egypt.
Located on the Giza Plateau, on the western edge of Greater Cairo, the Pyramids of Giza are among the world’s most recognisable ancient landmarks. The complex includes the Great Pyramid of Giza, the largest of the three main pyramids and the only surviving Wonder of the Ancient World. Nearby stands the Great Sphinx of Giza, another extraordinary monument that has watched over this ancient landscape for thousands of years.  For travellers staying in Egypt’s Red Sea resorts, visiting Giza requires some planning, but for many it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Standing beside these incredible monuments is one of those travel moments that photographs simply can’t recreate.

If ancient history is high on your holiday wish list, Luxor is somewhere you’ll want to discover.
Located on the banks of the River Nile in Upper Egypt, Luxor is home to an extraordinary collection of temples, tombs and monuments. Explore the spectacular Karnak Temple and discover the tombs of pharaohs in the Valley of the Kings. For travellers staying around Hurghada and other Red Sea resorts, organised excursions can offer the opportunity to combine relaxing beach days with some of Egypt’s greatest ancient treasures. 
It’s a completely different side of the country - and one that can make an Egypt holiday even more memorable.

You don’t always need to travel far from your resort to experience something extraordinary.
Egypt’s Red Sea coast is famous for clear waters, colourful coral reefs and fascinating marine life. Popular holiday destinations including Hurghada and Sharm El Sheikh offer plenty of opportunities for snorkelling, diving and boat trips. Whether you’re an experienced diver or simply want to grab a mask and snorkel, there’s a whole other world waiting beneath the surface. You can also head out on a boat trip, stop for a swim and discover beautiful stretches of coastline and offshore islands. It’s one of the reasons Egypt works so well for travellers who want relaxation and adventure in the same holiday.

Head away from the Red Sea coastline and the scenery changes dramatically.
The Egyptian desert offers vast open landscapes and spectacular sunsets that transform the surroundings into shades of gold and orange. From popular Red Sea resorts, organised excursions give visitors the opportunity to discover this very different side of Egypt. Depending on the experience, you could explore the desert, discover Bedouin-style hospitality or simply watch the sun go down beneath an incredible open sky.
It’s a striking contrast to a day spent beside the pool or on the beach.

Egypt is a popular choice for travellers looking to swap cooler UK weather for warmer days and plenty of sunshine.
Along the Red Sea coast, destinations such as Hurghada and Sharm El Sheikh are particularly popular for autumn and winter escapes, when the weather can be ideal for relaxing by the pool, enjoying the beach or heading out on an excursion. With sunshine, warm seas and plenty to experience beyond the resort, Egypt is a great choice when you're looking for a break from the British weather.

An Egypt holiday can be as relaxing or adventurous as you want it to be.
Popular experiences include:

✔ Seeing the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx
✔ Exploring the temples and tombs of Luxor
✔ Snorkelling and diving in the Red Sea
✔ Taking a boat trip to offshore islands
✔ Experiencing the River Nile
✔ Watching the sunset over the desert
✔ Exploring local markets and discovering Egyptian flavours

That’s what makes Egypt such an interesting holiday destination — you can enjoy the ease of an All Inclusive holiday while having history, nature and adventure waiting beyond the resort.

From relaxing Red Sea resorts to incredible ancient wonders, discover a great choice of Egypt holidays for autumn and winter.
