Egypt is a large country in the North of Africa. These holidays are designed for people to come and relax, enjoy the sights and if you want maybe embark on a small adventure.

One of Egypt’s most prominent features is obviously its pyramids. When its construction was finished the Great Pyramid was at 146 metres tall, that’s like a 50 story building. For a structure to last 4000 years it shows how much workmanship went into them. The Great Pyramid of Giza was built around 2561 BC, that’s about 4500 years ago. The history of the Egyptians is very diverse and strong, it is clearly preserved in Egypt’s culture as well. There is also the Sphinx and the River Nile as well.

The holiday resorts in Egypt are gorgeous as well. As soon as you see them you are taken aback by there size and beauty. Just like the Pyramids even the resorts that you can stay in today are heavenly. Alexandria is Egypt’s second capital and is a budding new tourist attraction. Egypt has held some of the Ancient wonders of the World. In Egypt or more precisely Alexandria, there was One of these Seven Wonders of the World. This Lighthoue was built over two thousand years ago, it was thought that it towered at about one hundred and thirty five metres tall, it was severely damaged by an earthquake and fell a few years later.

Still in all of these places like Alexandria is the evidence of a powerful and unique ancient civilization that used to roam the world many years ago. Egypt holidays aren’t all just about the site seeing though. The beach holidays in Egypt are massively growing tourists applications, they offer some of the most spectacular diving sites in the world.

Luxury holidays in Egypt have been a growing attraction to tourists all over the world, and with trips to the Pyramids and the likes of Mount Sinai Caribbean holidays have a new holiday hot-spot contender.
