If you make a decision to pass your holiday in Egypt, usually you’ve got a choice of 2 sea resorts – Hurghada or Sharm El Sheikh.  both are very popular, but Hurghada is situated in African continent while Sharm El Sheikh lies on Sinai spur. 

About 30 years gone Hurghada was simply a simple fishing hamlet.  But now, with it’s a resort with wonderfully clear water, untouched reefs.  It has become one of the best Egyptian holiday maker destinations.  A significant part of its fame Hurghada gained as one of the finest diving centers of the Earth.  Like all oriental cities Hurghada make living out of trade, so if when you walk along the city, be prepared to beat off the pressing offers of the sellers, meriting to make you buy their mementos.  There are some more entertainments except shopping and diving in Hurghada.  You can make a jeep trip to a desert, visit Bedouin’s hamlet there ; you can see corals and some natural preserves.  Hurghada is also has aqua-park.  Fishing is one of the popular visitor’s activities in Hurghada too.  Today, Hurghada is known as a party city, especially among continentals.  Locals and others will tell you that life begins at night in Hurghada, with the many , many clubs.  The most suitable time to go to Hurghada is October-November.  In winter there are powerful winds and it becomes dark terribly early. 

when you’re in Hurghada don’t miss the opportunity to see one of the most superb monuments of Egypt history – Luxor and the Valley of the King.  Pharaoh’s crypts and traditional temples are worth visiting. 

Sharm el-Sheikh is one of the most accessible and developed tourist resort communities on the Sinai promontory.  All around are Bedouins, colorful tents, mountains and sea.  Na’ama Beach is one of the center of the tourist activities.  Found just north of Sharm, this area is developing into a resort town of its own.  For those who like shopping, the Sharm El-Sheikh mall provides shops with both foreign and local products, including jewelry, leather goods, clothing, pottery and books.  Nobody leaves Sharm el-Sheikh without several useless but extremely nice keepsakes.  Like Hurghada, Sharm el-Sheikh is famous for diving too, but it has more variety in corals. 

Those, who select Sharm el-Sheikh also has opportunity to watch the attraction of Sinai promontory – The priory of St Catherine, Mount Sinai ( or Mountain of Moses ), Pharaoh’s Island and Salah El Din castle, Nabq state Park, Ras Abu Galum countrywide Park and so -called ‘Coloured canyon’. 

The last but not the least of the Egypt must-sees is Cairo with its pyramids.  From either Hurghada or Sharm El-Sheikh it will be a long trip, but you will never regret it! 

When you going to Egypt, remember that 3-star hotels in Egypt have nothing to do with 3-star hostels in Europe.  So, its better to choose 4 or 5 star hotel.  Doubtless it protects you from many troubles.  Often , the large hotels have zoos, playgrounds, discos, bars, a number of pools and even little theaters.  So, could be you may to need to leave your hotel.  Anyway, a trip to Egypt promises to be exotic and engaging expierence.
