The interest for tourists is the old part of the city, as well as modern areas where shops and souvenir shops, restaurants and cafes offering seafood at reasonable prices are located. Housing prices are lower than in other places.

Most hotels in the city do not have their own beach, so we usually have to attend public recreation areas. The underwater world of the Mediterranean Sea is greatly inferior in a variety of fauna and Flora of the Red Sea. In the summer months, the temperature of the air and water on the Mediterranean coast is not as high as in other Egyptian resorts. This makes it possible to relax here with comfort in the hot season.

For readers of the site Lhtravel have .

Hello dear friends! With you in touch again Christina. Today I will raise an important topic that "torments" not one tourist with the flour of choice. This is Egypt and its resort cities. I think many of you have repeatedly thought about how to give preference. Where is it better to relax, have fun, satisfy your impressions? Why a particular resort of the country of Pharaohs is better. Where is it worth going with your family, but where to go alone?

I will try to answer all questions today. The topic of Egypt is always relevant, even at the moment, when from Russia it is possible, relevant because the Egyptian direction is one of the beloved among our compatriots. It is inexpensive, the Red Sea is characterized by a rich underwater world, a huge number of attractions and so beloved by many concepts of nutrition "All Inclusive". So what should be guided when choosing?

Initially, decide what you expect from rest.

1. If you are traveling to Egypt with kids, then preference will be traced to the beach rest. The most gentle entrance to the sea - on the beaches of Hurghada.
2. Want to attack, have fun in full program? An excellent choice will be Sharm el-Sheikh. The resort will delight not only with entertainment clubs, incendiary parties, but also a magnificent coral reef.
3. Lovers of excursion programs can choose among several resorts. From Hurghada it is more convenient to get to Cairo, Edfu, Luxor, Aswan. Sharm will delight the excursion to Israel, Dahab - a visit to a unique holy place, the temple of St. Catherine. At the same time, at any resort there is an opportunity to ride camels, quad bikes, make a walk on a boat.
4. For lovers of outdoor activities: windsurfing and kitezfing - a great place will be the resort of Dahab.
5. Choosing a place of rest, I recommend to know in advance when

Large and all the well-known resorts of Egypt are actually no interest for me, we want to stay in more detail on the "special" sentences. After all, a wonderful rest may be in other places.

Little-known Egyptian resorts

I do not know what it is connected with, but most of our compatriots prefer Charma and Hurghada. But other resorts are quite good, if not to say that even the best. Yes, and prices for them will be much lower. There is another advantage among such places - cleaner sea, beaches, untouchability of coral reefs, poorly.

So learn!

1. Safaga. Located just an hour's drive from Hurghada. The resort became famous for magnificent coral reefs and purest beaches. Hotels here are no more than a dozen, mostly "trophy" and "four". It is perfect for recreation with children, and also pleases diving lovers.
2. Soma Bay and Makadi. Separations of the coast, administratively still relating to Hurghada. But the hotels only new, exclusively 4 - 5 *. Prices are much lower, and tourists are quite a bit. If you like high-quality service, a serene rest, water sports - you are here. Entertainment - exclusively on site.
3. Dahab. Immediately I will say - my love. The small resort spread out in the east of the Sinai Peninsula. From Sharm el-Sheikh, no more than 100 kilometers away. The most amazing place for active, young people, especially fond of diving and surf. "Star" hotels are still very little, but the variety of campgrounds is impressive. More detailed description of the resort I will continue a little later. It is a special place for me and I can not get around it by attention, but what is there - the whole site is visited by him.
4. Taba. Coastal tiny town bordering Israel. It opens with it amazing view On the stunning bay, as well as on Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Israel. Hotels are mostly three-star. The disadvantage is distant locality from the sea coast. And for the territories of the hotel there are practically no place to go. But in general, the resort is suitable for family quiet rest. The disadvantage is a long distance to the airport, you will have to spend at least 5 hours on the way.
5. Marsa Alam. The newest resort of Egypt. From Hurghada transfer to 5 hours. Noisy, due to construction, but but small. All hotels are modern and are located apart from a large distance. Marsa Alam I recommend to consider divers. Here you will find the richest underwater world, pristine coral reefs.
6. El Causer. Cheap, a quiet place with wonderful coral reefs and snow-white sandy beaches. All entertainment run on the territory of hotels. Recently grows popularity due to reasonable prices and high-quality services.

By the way, the place is called "Venice on the Red Sea" for this feature. With the prices of you, Nearby - they are high enough. But all hotels in five star.

No matter what resort you wanted, it will not be superfluous important advice For the most comfortable holiday in Egypt.

Egypt resorts: description and features of rest

Hello, dear readers! Egypt has always been a sought-after direction. There is nothing surprising in this - the inhabitants of the northern countries come here first in order to profitably change one or two weeks of slush, dirt or minus temperatures, on the hot sun and a carefree pastime in the company of such holidaymakers on the shore of the warm sea.

After the tragic events of 2015, Egypt ceased to be a massive direction for Russians. Tour operators do not sell batch tours to this country. However, part of tourists continues to visit the resorts of Egypt, organizing rest on their own, because the charms of this place is difficult to replace with something else. Many believe that soon the political situation will change, and the opportunity will be able to safely visit the country. I believe in it and I, so I open a new heading "Egypt", before you the first article: Egypt resorts Description and peculiarities.

Hurghada or Sharm el-Sheikh? Or maybe Dahab or El Guna? The article will tell about the main resorts of Egypt: Hurghada, Sharm El-Sheikh, Alexandria, Dahab, El Gouna, Nuweiba, Taba, Safaga, Makadi Bay and Soma Bay. Read the description of the resorts, remember and open this mysterious Arab country again!

This city is one of the main tourist centers of Egypt on the Red Sea coast. Almost 161 thousand inhabitants live in Hurghada. It is cool here than in the same Sharm-Sheikh due to the fact that the resort is not surrounded by a mountain massif.

Hurghada is perhaps the most famous Russian resort of Egypt. This is due to the fact that mass tourism in Egypt began here. And it was here that the conveyor construction of hotels for holidays of foreigners along the entire coast. Here the most "age" hotels. Which positively affects prices in them.

In the tourist center of Hurghada - Sakki - full of entertainment, here you will find a cafe in oriental style, shops, bars and discos. And supporters of a relaxing rest can have a pleasant time on the beach, so everyone can find something for themselves here. The resort is beautiful beaches and an impressive hotel infrastructure.

In terms of excursion trips, Hurghada significantly wins the Sharm el-Sheikh in Luxor, but is inferior to the pyramids located within Cairo. This should be considered, since eight hours on the bus in the desert it is difficult to overcome.

In the quick access zone there is a museum of the Red Sea and a marine aquarium, active tourists can choose a sfari on camels or quad bikes. From here, trips to the Water Park "Sinbad" are also organized.

Hurghada is suitable for tourists with any requests. If desired, here you can find both noisy hotels with stormy nightlife and family with a large selection of entertainment for children.

Sharm el-Sheikh: royal bay

Sharm el-Sheikh is located in the southern part of the Sinai Peninsula, its name in translated means the "Tsarsky Bay". Tourists who come to holiday in Sharm el-Sheikh have the opportunity to enjoy fabulous reefs that generously scattered nature along the entire coast of the Red Sea.

In Sharm el-Sheikh, more than 500 hotels are present as famous world rules and few budget, but no less comfortable Egyptian options. Most hotels are located in the famous Naama Bay Bay, known as the Tourist Center of the Sinai region. It is where you should go if you have a desire to spend full entertainment. Clubs (including the legendary hard rock cafe), restaurants, countless shops (including a duty-free shop), a casino, banks - Naama Bay tends to life from morning to night.

Next to Naama Bay is the oldest district of Sharm el-Sheikh - Sharm Al Maya, also known as the old bazaar. There you can stock fresh fruit, vegetables, and discover the exquisite taste of seafood. Search for interesting souvenirs - Pleasure for those who do not want to leave Egypt with empty hands.

Sharm el-Sheikh is famous for an abundance of marine flora and fauna. The richest underwater world of coastal resort gives an excellent reason for both marine walks on a boat and snorkeling or diving at the shore itself.

In the rest of Sharm el-Sheikh, this is the same Hurghada with minor variations. The same relaxed holiday in a family circle. However, the riotiness of the underwater fauna imposed its imprint and on a beach holiday in Sharm-El-Sheikh. The fact is that it is not possible to swim without special footwear everywhere - the cutting of corals is made only locally. Such bathing zones are usually designated by bays. They are characteristic of the Bay of Naama Bay - the oldest part of the resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, the most comfortable part of it. When choosing a hotel, always specify a description where it is located and what is the type of bottom in its beach.

Sharm el-Sheikh suit literally to all tourists. However, the success of recreation depends on the right selected place on the coast, depending on the purpose and desires of the time. Snorzling on the entire coast of the resort will justify the most bold expectations. For recreation with children, you need to carefully choose the hotel. Focus on the name of the beach, read the description of the hotel and reviews.

Alexandria: City on the Mediterranean Sea

The famous Alexandria is the second largest city in the country with more than 4 million inhabitants. Alexandria is divided into 27 districts and has everything you can expect from a prosperous city: square, palaces, libraries, museums, schools, universities, religious centers. If somewhere in Egypt, the influence of European civilization is noticeable, then this is precisely in Alexandria.

Unlike the resorts of Hurghada and Sharm el-Sheikh, Alexandria is a city that has already existed when the history of the ancient world was peaked when the empire was created and collapsed. Historically, the Egyptians themselves traditionally rested in Alexandria, while the eastern coast of the country was given to foreign tourists.

A rare hotel within the city has its own comfortable beach. If you decide to stop within the city, then most likely you will have to be content with the urban beach. It is much better to stay in the suburbs, here any hotel will provide you with high-quality service, including the beach.

What to see first of all: Alexandrian Fort (City Business Card), Alexandria Library, Palace Montaza, Museum of Fine Arts, Palace Ras Al-Tin, Greek-Roman Museum. The price level in Alexandria will pleasantly surprise - it is significantly lower than in the resorts oriented on Europeans.

The city is unlikely to surprise intimate charm and wild beaches, but if you are focused mainly to inspect the sights, Alexandria, an excellent starting point. From here you can go on a journey through the desert, see the excellent oasis and the incredible natural formation of the Western desert.

I think it is obvious that Alexandria is an excellent option for those who prefer not to distance from the city and are interested in the history of the ancient world. Suitable to tourists tired of annoying hotel animators and a standard pastime "All inclusive". Here to meet the speaker in Russian - a big miracle. Do you like history? Visit the castles, forts, museums, the old part of the city, for you it is also important as a beach vacation? In Alexandria!

Golden Dahab

Dahab - translated as "Golden", is an hour's drive from Sharm El Sheikh, and is an excellent alternative to this famous resort. In 2004, there were only 1,300 permanent residents, most of whom Bedouins.

It is difficult to imagine that everything is in a hundred kilometers from Sharm el-Sheikh, there is a paradist corner of the ideal for recreation. Dahab is possible, the only resort in Egypt, where you do not need to worry about booking the hotel. Due to the remoteness from the airport, tourists are many times less.

Dahab is located on the banks of the Akab Bay and is divided into two parts:

1. In the first, tourist, there are some sufficiently good hotels. Are you a secured person, but prefer to relax like a hermit? This is for you. And if you still love water sports - for you doubly.
2. The second part, the so-called "Bedouin", these are campgrounds offering inexpensive, to put it mildly, placement from $ 5 per day. Can you imagine it? For $ 10 it is quite realistic to choose apartments with air conditioning. And what else do you need young people who are not important comfort and convenience? Coloring establishments for nutrition and recreation in national style, hookah ... All this is on the background of the fantastic beauty of the landscape.

This place is located near coral reefs, so divers often choose, about 80 dive centers are operated here. Inexperienced divers will offer familiarization dives. More experienced divers can choose from a large number of packages, you can also agree on night dives.

In Dahab, you can relax well, here there are centers of yoga, massage and meditation. Holidays at this resort will enjoy youth and all tourists who prefer both a quiet rest against the backdrop of beautiful landscapes and active pastime with masks and lass. Entertainment centers here are especially no, only simple cafes and bars.

El Gouna: Venice in Egypt

El Gouna - a resort of twenty-five kilometers north of Hurghada. Built on the water of the project of the Beats and Fred Pair, the creators of EURODISNEY. Like Venice, the resort is surrounded by lagoons and channels. Hotels in El Guna are considered among the best in all Egypt, built on separate islands, between which you can move through the canals on boats.

The main contingent of vacationers - lovers of inexpensive rest from Western Europe - Germans, Dutch. Not all hotels have their own beaches with access to the sea (it is necessary to carefully read the description of hotels). You can swim, right in channels, but again, not everywhere. However, it is easily accessible to one of the boats that run regularly.

Semi-kilometer shallows are a big plus for families with children, but an adult swimmer is hardly to taste. It should also be noted that before the pyramids in Cairo and the temple complex in Luxor from El Guna, you can quickly reach the air - the resort has its own small airport.

This resort is perfect for recreation with children, you will enjoy tourists wishing to relax in a luxurious atmosphere with all the advantages of all-inclusive hotels (animation, nutrition, a beautiful large area and unusual for Egypt, landscape - channels).

Nuweiba coast

Nuweiba is the name of the coast of about thirty kilometers in the east of the Sinai Peninsula, which includes many small settlements located on a small distance from each other. This place is located nearly two hundred kilometers to the north of Charm El Sheikh resort.

Nuweiba is divided into three parts:

1. Tarabini - Bedouin village, attracts tourists from around the world with his bamboo huts (everything is done with bamboo sticks). In this part of Nuweiba you will find the ruins of the fortress, which was supposed to protect Sinai from the invasion of the Turkish troops in the sixteenth century.
2. In the southern part of Nuweiba is Maison, a seaport in which you can enjoy a walk along the embankment.
3. The most interesting part of the Nuweiba resort is a city of Nuweiba, a luxurious tourist center with a lot of hotswear and restaurants.

Nuweiba resort - Paradise for fans of water sports and diving, there are more than 15 diving centers. Interestingly, attractive coral reefs are very close to the shore. This is the perfect place for beginner divers, for those who only dream to conquer the underwater world. From the port of Nuweiba, you can go on fascinating sea travel on high-speed catamarans along the route of the Sinai Peninsula - Aqaba (Jordan).

If you leave Noweiba from Nuweiba (about 30 km) you will see a magnificent color canyon. The depth of this canyon is more than 2.5 km, which makes it the third largest canyon on Earth. Color canyon literally flickers seven colors - from white to dark red, hence and his beautiful name. Once here, you can visit the Israelites camps, which are located next door (20 km) - Kibrot-Gattaava, Taber, Rita and Asirofa.

If you want to take advantage of the opportunity during your stay in Egypt, visit the Christian Monastery of St. Catherine or climb on Moise Mountain, then Nuweiba is most successful for this purpose. A trip to Moise Mountain: three hours of night climb under the guidance of professional Bedouin Conductor. Tourists can watch dawn on Moise Mountain, it is one of the most beautiful landscapes that you can imagine.

Rest in Nuweiba is suitable even for a demanding vacationer, here you can find accommodation and leisure for every taste and wallet. Great place for snorkeling and diving lovers.

Taba: Calm holiday on the border with Israel

Taba - a small resort located near Nreeba, has a little more inhabitants than the city of Dahab, about 4,700 people.

This is very quiet placewhere even with all the desire you will not find noisy bars and discos. Tab seems to be a small and invisible city, but he gives pleasure to those who appreciate the comfort of the highest level, there is Taba Hilton (casino).

Beaches in hotels in a different plan, you can find comfortable for young children with cut corals on the shore, there are hotels with standard pontions and rich underwater flora and fauna.

If you want to visit everywhere, and the vacation is only one, then note that Taba is located in the cross-border area, in close proximity to states such as Jordan, Israel and Saudi Arabia. Having spent rest in the tab, you can get acquainted with beautiful placeswhich are outside Egypt. One-day excursions are organized here in Jerusalem and Bethlehem, you can learn the description of the excursions from the booklets of travel agencies.

This city is a real find for lovers of history. Having overcome 24 miles to the southwest, you will reach Rimmon Penets (the Biblical Camp of the Israelis, which they smashed during the journey to the ground promised). In 250 m from the sea is the island of Pharaoh, where you can see the ruins of the castle of the Crusaders.

It can be an ideal place for tourists who like the luxury of Naama Bay, and at night they would prefer the calm of Dahab. A great place for a quiet family holiday in comfortable hotels with a world-famous name.

Safaga: Paradise for water sports

Safaga resort is located 50 km south of Hurghada Airport, is one of the best places in the country for windsurfing and kite-boards. The city is small, next to him are two islands - "Tobia Island" and "Tobia Kebira". They are a natural protective barrier for the city.

Tourists tend to have different opinions about Safagi. It is not surprising - the city is located on the border of two worlds: very expensive and luxurious hotels coexist with little budget. But the main competitive advantage of safage is not hotels, but the long line of beaches of hotels, and their small "population" with resting. Plus, there are several sunken ships next to the islands, which are very interesting for lovers of the underwater world. Reefs are really very attractive here.

Nightlife in Safaga is not particularly diverse, of course, there are restaurants and bars, but their level is still low and experienced tourists tend to prefer entertainment offered in hotels.

Safaga can be visited on excursions in the Turkish fortress, the harbor of Pharaohov, Roman quarries.

Safaga is more suitable for those who want to spend a vacation in a mask and flippers who are looking for rest on the beach without a large cluster of people, while they are ready to be content with the entertainment at the hotel.

Makadi Bay: a new resort near Hurghada

Makadi Bay - a new respectable resort, is thirty kilometers from Hurghada, offered by 4-5 * hotels. The quality of service in Makadi is significantly higher than on other resorts of Egypt. However, all nightlife here is concentrated on the territory of hotels and this is probably not the best choice For young people who want to actively hold rest.

Makadi Bay is a relatively new resort, it is mostly known for its beautiful beaches. Here, of course, there are entertainment infrastructure: shops, bars, cafes and discos, but to the active life of Hurghada, he is far away.

Makadi Bay is suitable for a relaxed beach holiday with the whole family. The remoteness from noisy cities and towns will enjoy the silence and decent service.

Soma Bay: Chic Rest

Soma-Bay, actually, like Makadi Bay, a new Egyptian resort, who claims the title of the most respectable in the country. If hotel, then 5 *, if the sand, then clean gold, and so on. Soma Bay offers absolutely all kinds of recreation - both beach and active, both excursion and therapeutic and preventive (good courses in the SPA-Salone).

Soma Bay is ideal for relaxing lovers in a luxurious atmosphere. Here you will find a range of cafes, bars and beautiful sand beaches. Many will delight a large golf course.

The resort is especially suitable for wealthy tourists for whom the high level of comfort and service in hotels is important. Gorgeous beaches and wealth of the sea will leave pleasant impressions of the rest.

Egypt is an ancient country. View Egypt for two weeks - Utopia. Another utopia is just trying to understand what Egypt is. But you can love or hate Egypt at first glance. There are many supporters and opponents of this country among tourists. Let the resorts of Egypt do not reach the level of service to the European resorts of the Mediterranean, but according to the price / quality ratio, they, in my opinion, are out of competition, especially for a beach holiday in winter.

Hurghada or Sharm-Ela Sheikh? The answer to the question will find.
