If you make a call to spend your vacation in Egypt, generally you’ve got a choice of 2 sea resorts - Hurghada or Sharm El Sheikh. They both are popular, but Hurghada is situated in African continent while Sharm El Sheikh lies on Sinai peninsula.
About 30 years gone Hurghada was just a straightforward fishing village. But now, with it’s a resort with wonderfully clear water, untouched reefs. It has become one of the best Egyptian tourist destinations. A significant part of its fame Hurghada gained as one of the best diving centers of the world. Like all oriental cities Hurghada make living out of trade, so if when you walk along the town, be prepared to beat off the pressing offers of the sellers, deserving to make you purchase their keepsakes. 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 well-liked visitor’s activities in Hurghada too. Today, Hurghada is known as a party city, particularly among continentals. Neighbors and others will tell you that life begins at night in Hurghada, with the many clubs. The ideal time to visit Hurghada is October-November. In winter there are strong winds and it becomes dark awfully early.
when you’re in Hurghada don’t miss the chance to see one of the most excellent 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, colourful tents, mountains and sea. Na’ama Beach is one of the middle of the tourist activities. Found just north of Sharm, this area is developing into a resort city of its own. For those that like shopping, the Sharm El-Sheikh mall provides shops with both foreign and local products, including jewellery, leather products, clothing, pottery and books. No-one leaves Sharm el-Sheikh without many useless but terribly agreeable souvenirs. Like Hurghada, Sharm el-Sheikh is known for diving too, but it has more variety in corals.
Those, who choose Sharm el-Sheikh also has chance 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 national 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’s going to be a long trip, but you will never regret it!
