Welcome to EgyptThe sights of Egypt are truly marvellous, from Cairo's pyramids down through the desert, along the Nile, via Luxor and on to Abu Simbel. The history of the place is amazing, the sky is almost always blue, the scuba and snorkelling in the Red Sea are world-class, and it's not expensive. Within a 5-hour flight of the UK are some of the world's most beautiful coral reefs, and desert scenes straight out of Lawrence of Arabia. For divers and snorkellers there are coral-covered shipwrecks, dolphins, and offshore reefs where sharks appear from the depths. For sun-lovers, there is year-round sunshine. It's somewhere luxury holidays can be had at mid-market prices, and property will always be in demand – especially in locations like the busy and expanding resort of Hurghada.
Once a modest fishing port between the eastern Sahara desert and the Red Sea mountains, Hurghada is now Egypt's second biggest tourist area (the biggest being Sharm-el-Sheik). Consisting of a strip of resorts running 20 miles along the coastline, Hurghada is the ideal base for diving the famous shipwrecks of Sha'ab Abu Nuhas and the crystal-clear waters around the islands of Giftun and Abu Ramada. Hurghada is centrally located between Luxor, famous for its temples, and Cairo, famous for the Pyramids and Sphinx.
The resort community of Sahl Hasheesh is just 20km from Hurghada's international airport, and has a marina, four 18-hole golf courses, bars, restaurants, hotels, sports and leisure facilities, retail centre, and – of course – superb diving and snorkelling. |
